Boys & Girls Clubs

Description

The Boys & Girls Clubs is a place, an actual neighborhood-based building, designed solely for youth development purposes. The mission of the Boys & Girls Clubs is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens. The Boys & Girls Clubs are open every day after school and on Saturdays, when kids have free time and need positive, productive outlets. Research has shown that the most critical time in a child' s life is between 3 and 8 p.m.; this is where the Boys & Girls Clubs fill the void with structured, enriching, and exciting after school programs.

Each Club has full time, trained youth development professionals, providing role models and mentors. Part-time staff and volunteers provide key supplementary support. Our Clubs reach out to children who cannot afford, or may lack access to other community programs. Membership fees are low, only $7.50 per year to join.
