Boys & Girls Clubs are community-based organizations that provide a safe and supportive environment for young people, typically ages 6 to 18. They offer a variety of programs focused on education, health, leadership, and recreation, helping children and teens develop essential life skills. The clubs aim to inspire youth to reach their full potential and become responsible citizens. Founded in the 1860s, Boys & Girls Clubs have grown to serve millions of members across the United States and beyond. They often collaborate with local schools and community organizations to enhance their programs and provide additional resources for youth development.
