Since the first 'Boys Club' opened in 1900, Boys and Girls Clubs have helped children realize their potential. We have enabled hundreds of thousands of children to:
- lead healthy, active lives
- continue and complete their education
- develop interests and skills that lead to successful careers
- develop positive relationships with their peers and mentors
