The Clubs have changed in many ways over the years... not only changing the name officially to Boys & Girls Clubs of America in 1990... but truly becoming a place of hope and opportunity for all young people, male and female.

Moreover, Boys & Girls Clubs emphasize educational achievement and career preparation, in addition to the sports, recreation, leadership and character development programs that have been the hallmark of Clubs for more than a century.

A safe place to learn and grow...

Ongoing relationships with caring, adult professionals...

Life-enhancing programs and character development experiences...

Hope and opportunity.

The year of programming at the Club will include pizza parties, kickball, art shows, photography contests, homework help, basketball, leadership activities, cooking, and many other bells and whistles.
