Programs

Boys & Girls Clubs programs have taken members from the Clubhouse to the White House; from the games room to the corporate boardroom; from the high school orchestra to Carnegie Hall. We offer more than 25 nationally developed programs in the areas of education, the environment, health, the arts, careers, alcohol/drug and pregnancy prevention, gang prevention, leadership development and athletics. Kids may walk through our doors for the fun we offer, but we do far more than entertain these youngsters.

Locally we offer daily access to a broad range of programs in five Core Program Areas:

•    Education and Career Development
•    Character and Leadership Development
•    Health and Life Skills
•    The Arts
•    Sports, Fitness and Recreation

Our nationally recognized programs and activities impact children in three essential ways:

  • Academic Success — Improving grades, reducing high school drop-out rates, and teaching kids to see themselves as learners.
  • Good Character and Citizenship — Encouraging community service, reducing juvenile crime rates, and instilling an attitude of engagement.
  • Healthy Lifestyles — Teaching healthy behaviors, reducing drug use and childhood obesity, and fostering a positive self-image.
