Why Donate
Canada's Young People Need Your Help.
Your support will allow us to reach the children, youth and families who need us most.
The hours after school are critical to a child’s healthy growth and development. Research indicates that providing young people with access to structured, enriching recreational and social programs outside of school greatly benefits their peer relationships, emotional health and academic performance. If that after school time is unsupervised, however, it can be a dangerous, unhealthy time.
40% of all physical assaults involving children take place after school
20% of victims of violent crime are less than 17-years-old
25% of youth are victims of bullying
90% of children and youth do not meet Canada’s Physical Activity Guidelines
26% of children ages 6 to 11 are considered obese
Students who spend no time in extracurricular activities such as after school programs are:
49% more likely to have used drugs,
37% more likely to become teen parents than those who spend one to four hours per week in after school programs.
Boys and Girls Clubs are playing a critical role by helping to address critical issues young people face. Every Club membership is affordable and open to all children, youth and their families, regardless of financial means.
