This Youth Club Guidebook was funded by the Welsh Government's Taith Pathway 2 funding and was produced following four visits to the USA by Volunteers and Youth Workers from throughout Wales during 2024. These visits were supported by the World Youth Clubs and in particular Kirk Dominick who helped us establish contacts with four Boys' and Girls' Clubs in the USA. These included Boys & Girls Clubs of Skagit County, Boys & Girls Clubs of Yellowstone County, Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida and Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta.
