Boys and Girls Clubs of America During Covid

You may be having a similar experience to my own where, when I
ask my kids about what they miss from their non-Covid schedule,
they talk a lot about afterschool. Sometimes I make the mistake
of thinking that it goes without saying at this point, but it
doesn't, that out of school time, and the professionals who
support learners beyond the school bell are absolutely critical
in the special sauce of your kids. If you haven't yet, reach out
and find out how you can support your local programs - give a
high five to the education professionals, many of whom, are
spending a lot more time with your kids than their teachers are.


Boys and Girls Clubs of America (BGCA for short) is an iconic
brand, and for good reason - it serves more than 4mm students
through its federated network of clubs all over the country, and
my guest is the national organization's Sr. Director of Product:


Dave Crusoe is an education technology
researcher, architect and producer. He loves to dream big and
make big happen–especially by bringing together astute and eager
teams. He is Senior Director – Youth Digital Engagement for Boys
& Girls Clubs of America, a role that enables infinite
imagination about how to construct youth digital visitor
experience, provides focus on youth learning and life outcomes
and requires engaging a curious set of resources. He holds an EdM
degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, enjoys
writing, plays the banjo poorly, explores caves and writes
children’s stories.
