Why Boys & Girls Clubs?
Boys & Girls Clubs serve 4.6 million kids and teens (and growing) annually. Clubs meet kids where they spend 80% of their time: outside of school. Clubs are doing Whatever it Takes to Build Great Futures by:
- Advocating for equal access and opportunities for all young people
- Developing life-enhancing programs that encourage kids to elevate the power of their voice
- Caring mentors who help kids develop the skills needed to succeed
- Elevating the next generation of leaders
Clubs are embedded in your local communities, offering safe in-person and online spaces and the key ingredients that kids and teens need to reach their potential. By building on their strengths and the assets in their lives, Clubs strengthen young people’s resilience and belief in their own capabilities.

Guiding Principles
For over a century, Boys & Girls Clubs have been opening doors of opportunity and preparing young people for a great future. We see possibility in every young person and are committed to being a voice for all youth in America, regardless of their background or circumstances.
All 6 of our Club locations make the commitment each and every day to show up and prove every youth has what it takes. Every Club member matters. They all deserve opportunity. We are here to elevate them and let them know that they are capable, worthy and important. We know every young person has what it takes to achieve a great future.
Our 3 Guiding Principles are as follows:
- Provide all Club members with high-quality Club programming that is safe, fun and makes a measurable difference.
2. Lead a national dialogue to advocate that every community in the US provide access to high-quality out-of-school-time programs and experiences that equip young people, especially those growing up in disadvantaged curcumstances, with the tools to succeed.
3. Recognize that no single organization can provide everything needed to enable youth to succeed, Boys & Girls Clubs must establish dynamic partnerships with public and private institutions, locally and nationally, to assure high-quality youth development experiences for all young people in America.
