A recent study showed the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Valley delivers one of the highest social returns on investment, the organization announced on Friday in a release.
The study, conducted by Arizona State University’s L. William Seidman Research Institute, showed for every dollar invested, the club produced $14.79 in community benefit in 2024-25. That translated to $398.5 million in socioeconomic value through the clubs’ 30-plus locations throughout the state.
“The big picture is we serve over 20,000 youth in four counties across 14 cities,” said Marica Mintz, president and CEO of Boys and Girls Clubs of Arizona. “We develop these kids ages 5 to 21 to give them the skills and tools to succeed in life.”
