Boys & Girls Club of New Haven

At the Boys & Girls Club of New Haven, our mission is to enable all young people to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. Founded in 1871, we are the third oldest of 4,000 Boys & Girls Clubs nationwide. Generations of families have counted on us to inspire their kids to be the very best they can be, and we have been a second home to thousands of New Haven children and teens.   

We’re known for our fun summer camp, safe after school programs, and great sports. But we’re so much more. We build the character of every child who walks through our doors. New Haven children and teens benefit from our professional caring staff who are using the Boys & Girls Club of America’s proven approach to youth development.
