The Boys & Girls Club inspires Chicago’s youth to learn while giving parents peace of mind that their children are constructively engaged after school. The Club offers positive adult role models, supportive peer interactions, and a sense of belonging. Every kid deserves a nurturing environment and opportunities that can change their lives for the better.

The inclusive environment enables children from all over the city to amplify their voices and make a difference, becoming tomorrow’s leaders. The diversity of the Club members and staff supports the development of cultural competence and empathy.
