At Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Joseph County we have a
bold vision:
that success is within reach of every child. We believe
every girl and boy deserves a safe place to learn and grow; life-enhancing
programs, character development experiences, and hope and opportunity for the
future. In such an environment, kids can discover how to see beyond the walls
of their current situation and realize they can succeed. They are becoming
better people, contributing members of the community – our future citizens,
labor force and leaders.
At the Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Joseph County we offer
quality afterschool and summer programming for youth between the ages of 5 and
18. Well-trained staff and volunteers provide a safe environment where youth
participate in engaging programs that enhance the development of each child.
As a member of the Boys & Girls Clubs, your child
will participate in five core program areas:
- Character &
Leadership Development
- Education and Career
Development
- Health and Life Skills
- The Arts
- Sports, Fitness, and
Recreation
Along with these five core areas, there is time devoted
every day to help with homework and tutoring. Our goal is to help ensure our
members grow academically, emotionally, and socially to help them become
positive members of our schools, communities, and families.
