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.

Word’s From Our Parents and Families

I approve and support the Boys and Girls Club 100% because I know my kids are safe and in a great place. I am very happy how every min of the day is structured so the kids don’t get bored. They know exactly what they are going to do each day and get to choose their days activities, from art, tech, music, drama and dance, only to mention a few. They are finding out their interests are and becoming their own little people.”

– Judi, Club Parent

As foster parents in a rural mountain town, resources for our kids are few and far between. Frankly, if we didn’t have B&G Club to provide after school and summer care, I don’t think we would be able to keep our home open to elementary-school kids. Not only has B&G allowed families like us to maintain homes for the most vulnerable youth in our community, but the staff has become a critical part of our care team. They take the time to learn about our kids’ backgrounds and challenges, and they adapt their programs, with experience and compassion, to ensure our kids are getting the mentorship and connections they need.”

– Alison, Club Parent

Boys and Girls Club has been a lifesaver for our family for several reasons: It provides care for our daughter both before and after school since my husband and I have to work outside of the hours of the school day; alongside that, our daughter has been blessed with many friendships outside of her age group. She is greeted every morning by cheerful staff members and other kids who have taken our daughter under their wings.”
