our
mission
To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
why us
Every kid deserves a place. A place to feel safe. A place to feel connected. A place to belong.
Boys & Girls Clubs provide such places—where kids can go before & after school and during the summer to grow beyond the classroom. No matter why they enter a Club, young people leave with the knowledge that the Club Experience provides a fun, safe space and a fostering environment where they can be who they are—and become who they were meant to be.
The Road to
Great Futures
Every person has strengths and gaps when it comes to learning—and it’s our job to help kids figure out where their greatest potential lies. Whether through tutoring and homework help, access to technology, college- and career-readiness programs or skills development, Clubs have an outstanding track record of helping young people make academic strides.
Good Character
and Citizenship
As youth are taught to be productive, caring, responsible citizens through high-quality programs and staff who model good behavior, they are more likely to carry these values with them when they leave the Club. In addition to fostering accountability, we also help young people develop leadership skills, a sense of civic duty and an understanding of the value of giving back to their community
Healthy
Lifestyles
In the important hours between when school gets out and dinner is served, we have an obligation to make sure the kids and teens who spend this time with us are achieving social, emotional and physical wellness. From building self-esteem and confidence to providing healthy snacks and activities, Clubs offer a breadth of ways that kids can develop healthy habits for life.
