THE VISION of the Boys & Girls Club of Corvallis is that all of our members graduate from high school, are work and college ready with skills that enable them to be self-sufficient, have a clear plan for their future, live a healthy lifestyle, and are responsible, caring citizens.

We believe that…

• Children are an integral part of a community and the future of our society.
• Our best hope for the future is to support growth and enrichment through challenging, fun activities with the guidance of caring adult role models.
• Children learn and develop through a choice of diverse experiences.
• Every child deserves equal access to community programs and resources.
• Adults gain immense satisfaction by personally contributing to the positive development of youth.
