It's very important that we all work together. I know everyone uses the line, but we're truly working together. We need to make sure that the language and the lessons that are being taught in school are being echoed at BGC, or the Boys and Girls Club. We want to make sure, for children and youth, that there's no misinterpretation and there's no confusion over the messaging. All of us who work with kids or have kids know it's about repetition and making sure that the kids hear as much of the positive messaging and accurate messaging as they need.
To my earlier point, make sure that you get the parents involved so they know what's going on. Many of us as parents don't find out sometimes until the last second what's happening with our kids, so when we have the opportunity to get the parents involved, be it through the school councils, the teacher-parent interaction or BGC through our programs, interactions and volunteering, that's where we see the real changes. It comes down to those true collaborations, and it comes down to just your basic communication and speaking at the level of the individual you're engaging.
