In every community, boys and girls are left to find their own recreation and companionship in the streets. An increasing number of children are at home with no adult care or supervision during the most critical after school hours or during the summer. Young people need a safe place of their own where they can have fun.

Boys & Girls Clubs offer that and more. Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence.

Because Boys & Girls Clubs are affordable to all youth - membership is $10 a year - they rely on the community for funding. Clubs are funded by individual and corporate donations, special events, and grants. What could be more important than ensuring our youth are safe and learning positive values?  Boys & Girls Clubs change kids' lives! Which helps us guarantee a better future.
