What are The Boys & Girls Clubs

             The Boys and Girls Clubs are for boys and girls. They satisfy the age-old desire of young people to have a "club" of their own. Children have full-time professional leadership, supplemented by part-time workers and volunteers. The clubs require no proof of good character. They help and guide girls and boys who may be in danger of acquiring, or who already have acquired, unacceptable habits and attitudes, as well as those of good character. They make sure that all girls and boys can afford to belong and even the least interested will not be deterred from joining. The Boys and Girls Clubs are for girls and boys of all races, religions and cultures. They are building-centered. Activities are conducted in the warm, friendly atmosphere of facilities especially designed for youth programs. Clubs have and open-door policy which open to all members at any time during hours of operation. Also, they have a varied and diversified program that recognizes and responds to the collective and individual needs of girls and boys. The Boys and Girls Clubs are guidance-oriented which emphasize values inherent in the relationships between young people, their peers, and adult leaders. They help boys and girls make appropriate and satisfying choices.
