Core Programs
What are Boys & Girls Clubs?
Clubs are facility-based organizations that provide young people with a fun, safe and constructive after-school environment. Clubs offer programs and services designed to build character and strengthen life skills.
Who do Clubs Serve?
Boys & Girls Clubs are open to all youth ages 7 - 18 and have a special focus on children and teens from challenging or disadvantaged circumstances. Clubs reach out to children in need, giving them support, guidance and hope for the future. Clubs also keep dues low and do not turn kids away because of an inability to pay.
What Makes Clubs unique?
Neighborhood-centered, Clubs provide programming in specialized areas, including character development, educational enhancement and career exploration. Clubs are staffed by paid, trained youth development professionals. Through a system of informal guidance, Club staff form strong bonds with young people and help them make smart choices in life. For many Club members, Club staff are the most influential positive adult role models in their lives.
