About Boys & Girls Club of Fitchburg and Leominster

Location:

365 Lindell Avenue, Leominster, MA 01453, US

Mission Statement

"To inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring citizens."

Description

Our Project Learn STEAM after school program and Summer Blast programs are different from many.

Our Club is unique in our region in that our focus is primarily in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM), along with programs in health, nutrition, community service, entrepreneurship, and of course, recreation and sports. The Club provides youth an opportunity for hands-on activities to explore STEAM where they may not have the opportunity during the school day. Also, through community events such as our annual Central MA Science Festival, we are able to reach beyond our members and share our focus with the entire region.

Each day, programs in our five core areas are offered, giving members access to activities related to Health and Life Skills, The Arts, Education & Career Development, Sports, Fitness & Recreation, and Character & Leadership Development.
