Make a positive impact
News & Events
Employers and childcare providers are asked to please provide feedback to better understand childcare and how it impacts the workplace in our communities and across the state of South Carolina. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation created these surveys, and links will remain open through August.
Critical child and family well-being measures show minimal progress for kids in South Carolina, according to the 2025 KIDS COUNT® Data Book, a 50-state report of recent data developed by the Annie E. Casey Foundation analyzing how children and families are faring in post-pandemic America. South Carolina ranks 38th in the annual report.
This improved national ranking, compared to last year’s rank of 40, reflects how South Carolina’s children measure up against other states rather than indicating real progress for children and their families. Health and poverty indicators are particularly concerning.
Today, South Carolina Youth of the Year Genesis Majors will take her first flight to Atlanta for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America Southeast Regional Youth of the Year Event. You can follow her adventure on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter #bgcpeedee #FlyGenesis.

Sgt. Priscilla Zimmerman * from the 70sLooking back, before attending the Club, my dreams and opportunities were limited, but once there I learned self-respect and self-worth and the whole world opened up for me.
-
Michael Woods * from the 90sThe Club has provided me with a lot of my “first” experiences: traveling in and out of SC, staying overnight in a hotel, riding on an airplane, and even my first job. I don’t know where I would have ended up had it not been for the Club.
