Boys & Girls Clubs nurture young people's self esteem by instilling in them a sense of belonging, usefulness, influence, and competence.

Clubs do this daily by providing young people with one-on-one relationships with caring adult professionals and with fun, age appropriate programming. Key programs emphasize leadership development, education and career exploration, financial literacy, health and life skills, the arts, sports, fitness and recreation.

Our programs are carefully designed to support the current and future achievement of our youth who leave the Clubs at age 18. We strive to develop in each of our members:

• A Positive Self-Identity
• Educational, Employment, Social, Emotional, and Cultural Competencies
• Community and Civic Involvement
• Health and Well-Being
• A Moral Compass
