About Us
A Club for Life.
Our Mission
Founded in 1902, Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago (BGCC) is one of the oldest youth development organizations in Chicago. Its mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. With locations throughout Chicago, BGCC serves more than 15,000 young people ages 5 to 20+ every year. Through a wide range of programs, BGCC equips young people with the emotional, educational, physical, and cultural resources they need to enjoy their childhood and thrive in adulthood.
