In every community, there are hundreds of boys and girls who are left to find their own recreation and companionship in the streets or who, in increasing numbers, spend many hours at home with no adult care and supervision. These youngsters often form groups or gangs, becoming involved with the wrong "leaders," and eventually find themselves in serious trouble.

The number of young people living in underserved circumstances continues to grow. National statistics reveal an alarming increase in the number of multi-faceted problems which negatively impact these girls and boys and their families

Young people, especially those at greatest risk, need responsible adult guidance. They need to know that someone cares about them and that there are concerned and capable adults to whom they can turn.

Who We Are:

As a group of civic and professional leaders, we are dedicated to promoting positive youth development by providing a safe and healthy environment for children to interact with their peers and positive adult role models.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of America, a national organization comprised of more than 3,700 associated clubs, has been successfully redirecting the lives of young people since 1860, servicing over 4.4 million kids.
