The Boys & Girls Club’s mission is to inspire and enable all young people to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.

It is our vision to provide a world-class Club Experience that assures success is within reach of every young person who walks through our doors, with all members on track to graduate from high school with a plan for the future, demonstrating good character and citizenship, and living a healthy lifestyle.

The Club serves all youth, especially those who need us the most, during out of school hours. We ensure no child is every turned away for an inability to pay. Clubs keep kids safe while allowing parents to keep their jobs and go back to school, but the Club is more than a haven for youth. The Club also works to close the education and health gaps seen in minority and low income families.

We believe every kid has what it takes. The mission and core beliefs of Boys & Girls Clubs fuel our commitment to providing safe, positive, and inclusive environments for all.  Boys & Girls Clubs of America supports all youth and teens – of every race, ethnicity, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, ability, socio-economic status, and religion – in reaching their full potential.
