Four key characteristics define the essence of a Boys & Girls Club. All
are critical in exerting positive impact on the life of a child:
1. Dedicated Youth Facility
The Boys & Girls Club is a place – an actual neighborhood-based building –
designed solely for youth programs and activities.
2. Open Daily
The Club is open every day, after school, when kids have free time and need
positive, productive outlets.
3. Professional Staff
Every Club has full-time, trained youth development professionals, providing
positive role models and mentors. Volunteers provide key supplementary
support.
4. Available/Affordable to All Youth
Clubs reach out to kids who cannot afford, or may lack access to, other
community programs. Dues are low, $5 per year.
