Our History
The Boys & Girls Clubs of America, originally knows as the Boys Club, began in
1892. Clubs were exclusively for boys until the mid 1980s.
The Boys & Girls Club of Clermont County opened in 1996 in New Richmond, Ohio.
Since that time Club membership has expanded to serve youth from other Clermont
County communities.
In New Richmond, the Club serves 379 members, plus an additional 170 children
