BGCEC educates, warns, and prepares youth how to avoid peers that may be involved in illegal behaviors and situations that can place them in the wrong place at the wrong time. With BGCEC’s many programs to educate youth on making smart decisions when away from the Club, it also keeps them safe, off the streets, and away from negative situations or people that are involved in illegal behavior, or already committing crimes those crimes. Recently WEAR TV 3 revealed facts from a new report revealing that fewer young people in the U.S. are being sent to Residential Juvenile Justice Programs. In Okaloosa County specifically, incarcerations have dropped 65% over the past five years. Florida's Juvenile Justice Secretary said there’s also been a decrease in arrests, school-based delinquency, and the transfer of young offenders to adult prisons. Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) is now developing a "Roadmap to System Excellence" that aims to keep more young offenders out of residential facilities by giving families more support and providing better access to community resources. BGCEC is that major resource for those families and youth in our areas. BGCEC goals are in- line of those with Okaloosa County Sheriff's Department. BGCEC strives to better our community, create great community leaders, ensure our youth graduate high school on time with a plan for their future, provide targeted programming pertaining to prevention of involvement with drugs and alcohol, and keeping their neighborhoods safe. BGCEC’s Street Smarts Program educates Club members ages 6- 18 on early gang prevention and anti-bullying; the S.M.A.R.T. (Skills, Mastery, and Resistance Training) Moves Program for ages 6-18 addresses health concerns of drugs, tobacco, and alcohol, and how to overcome peer pressure to avoid involvement in those dangerous behaviors.
