The mission of the Boys & Girls Clubs is to enable all young people, especially
those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring,
responsible citizens.
See our 2007 Annual
Report.
The Boys & Girls Clubs provides:
A safe place to learn and grow.
Ongoing relationships with caring, adult professionals.
Life-enhancing programs and character development experiences.
Hope and opportunity.
Why we're special: Four key characteristics define the essence of a Boys & Girls Club. All are critical in exerting positive impact in the life of a child:
Dedicated Youth Facility. The Boys & Girls Club is a place... an actual neighborhood-based building... designed solely for youth development purposes.
Open Daily. The Club is open every day, after school and on Saturdays, when kids have free time and need positive, productive outlets.
Professional Staff. Every Club has full-time, trained youth development professionals, providing role models and mentors. Part-time staff and volunteers provide key supplementary support.
Available/Affordable to All Youth. Clubs reach out to kids who cannot afford, or may lack access to other community programs. Membership fees are low, only $7.50 per year to join.
