Who We Are

What is a Boys & Girls Club?

The Club is an affordable safe place for hardworking families to bring their children during the out of school hours. The Club satisfies the age-old desire all boys & girls have a place to belong. Nationally recognized programs and well trained staff help Club members succeed in everyday life.

Four key characteristics define the essence of a Boys & Girls Club. All are critical in exerting positive impact on the life of a child:

1. Dedicated Youth Facility
The Boys & Girls Club is a place – an actual neighborhood-based building – designed for youth programs and activities.
2. Open Daily
The Club is open every day, after school and on weekends, when kids have free time and need positive, productive outlets.
3. Professional Staff
Every Club has full-time, trained youth development professionals, providing positive role models and mentors. Volunteers provide key supplementary support.
4. Available/Affordable to All Youth
Clubs reach out to kids who cannot afford, or may lack access to other community programs. Dues are low & affordable.
