Programs and Services

Boys & Girls Clubs provide a safe environment for young people to have fun and learn. Each Club is supervised by caring and trained professionals who engage kids in more than 200 activities each year.

We offer a comprehensive array of programs that are valued at $500 per child each year. However, our annual membership fee is just $20 because we want every child to be able to join a Club.

Core Programs
Boys & Girls Clubs offer more than sports and recreation. Our Clubs’ programs build character while encouraging education and career exploration, healthy living and an appreciation for the arts.
