Director Q&A
The Boys & Girls Club inspires Chicago’s youth to learn while giving parents a peace of mind that their children are constructively engaged after school. The club provides positive adult role models, positive peer interaction and a sense of belonging. Every kid deserves a nurturing environment and opportunities that can change their lives for the better.
The inclusive environment allows kids from all over the city to empower their voices and make a change to become tomorrow’s leaders. The diversity of the club members and staff supports the development of cultural competence and empathy.
Do your best to explore all the Club has to offer, you might find an interest you didn't know you had until you try it at the Club.
Rusu-McCartin Club is the first newly-built Club in a generation, opening in 2023. It is a safe space for Austin, West Humboldt Park and West Garfield Park youth, to explore their interests with a wide variety of program offerings.
