Why Join a Boys & Girls Club?
For parents and caregivers, the Boys & Girls Club is more than just an after-school program. Clubs offer a dependable and support system you can count on. Boys & Girls Clubs of America are open when families need them most: during critical after-school hours and throughout the summer.
“When my children are at the Club, I know they are learning, interacting with their peers, receiving life experiences and building leadership skills that they would not have learned anywhere else. My kids are more productive and better people because of the Club.” -Becky S., Club parent
What Are Boys & Girls Clubs?

Clubs also support community engagement and college scholarships, helping families who search for a Boys & Girls Club near them or in their local area find opportunities close to home. Through safe places, caring mentors, and life-enhancing experiences, Boys & Girls Clubs do whatever it takes for youth to reach their full potential.
