What makes our Boys & Girls Club Special ?
Dedicated Youth Facilities: The Boys & Girls Club is a special place for youth ages Kindergarten-18. years old. Our program includes an actual neighborhood-based building-- designed solely for youth programs and activities.
Open Daily: The Club is open every weekday, after school and during the summer, when kids have free time and need positive, productive outlets.
Professional Staff: Every Club has a full-time, trained youth development professional, providing positive role models and mentors. Volunteers provide key supplementary support.
Available/Affordable to All Youth: Clubs reach out to kids who cannot afford, or may lack access to, other community programs.
An ounce of prevention...... It takes more than a big heart to run a great Boys & Girls Club. It takes money! A Boys & Girls Club, on average, spends about $500 per youth per year on all the activities and programs we provide. But consider the alternative. Keeping a young adults in jail costs taxpayers anywhere from $25,000 to $75,000 per year. Boys & Girls Clubs, a proven delinquency prevention program, are one of the best bargains in America.
Boys & Girls Clubs rely on the generosity of donors and volunteers in order to provide the programs and activities that our members want and deserve. You can help by donating. We will accept your donation of cash or program supplies. We always can use arts and crafts supplies, games, sports equipment and even snacks.
