Mission Statement
The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Chattahoochee Valley are devoted to helping young people in our area, especially those who need us most, develop the skills and attitudes to become productive citizens and leaders. Our core beliefs are that a Boys & Girls Club provides a safe place to learn and grow; ongoing relationships with caring adults; life enhancing programs and character development experiences; and hope and opportunity. The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Chattahoochee Valley is a charter member of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. B&GCA's tradition of service to our nation's youth began in 1860, when the first Boys Club was established in Hartford, Connecticut. Since then, the organization has grown to serve some 4.8 million youth annually in more than 4,000 Boys & Girls Clubs across the country. B&GCA have not only experienced dramatic growth over the last several years, but has also become one of the nation's leading charities.
Description
The clubs are open every day after school where trained and professional staff members eagerly wait to greet our children to be positive role models and mentors for them. Annual membership is affordable at $20.00 per child and membership is available to all children ages 6-18. During the summer, our program is offered Monday through Friday at all five clubs.
