About Us

In 1860 three women in Hartford, Connecticut: Mary Goodwin, Alice Goodwin and Elizabeth Hammersley; believed that boys should have a positive alternative.

In 1906, the Federated Boys Clubs in Boston was formed with 53 member organizations.

In 1931, the Boys Club Federation of America became Boys Clubs of America.

In 1956, Boys Clubs of America celebrated its 50th anniversary and received a U.S. Congressional Charter.

In 1990 the name was changed to Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

The Boys & Girls Club is fixated on building the character of children in order for them to increase their goals in life.

Community Need

On average 3 out of 10 kids will not graduate, however 90% of students who were in the club received a high school diploma or GED

From 3pm-7pm is when crime escalates, so by placing children in a club it will keep them off the streets and in a supervised, fun environment

3 out of 10 children are obese, but by keeping the children active 80% of children have founded a positive attitude towards fitness and health

With 1 out of 5 young people living in poverty, the club provides a safe shelter for them.

Critical Thinking

By participating in the Boys & Girls Club children are taught to think critically in order to benefit their lives. From being encouraged to think ahead children are able to minimize their chances of miserable outcomes and increase their chances of being successful in life.

Critical Reading

Children are also encouraged to do critical reading while attending the club. They are taught to seek meaning in what they do, so they know what they are doing it for. To ask questions and never leave anything unanswered. But most importantly they are taught to know the consequences, so that they know what not to do.

Personal Connection

When me and my siblings were younger my mother would drop us off at the Boys & Girls Club while she went to work. The environment was full of excitement and had a sense of safety. The volunteers dispositions were friendly. If we needed anything they were there to help. The best part though was all the activities that we were allotted to do. It was a great place to be.
