Boys & Girls Clubs of America
The Boys & Girls Clubs of America traces its roots back to three ladies, in 1860 who invited “street children” into their home to teach them social graces of the day. The seed was planted and, in 1906, 53 Clubs from around the U.S. met and formed the Federated Boys Clubs. The organization has grown into the Boys & Girls Clubs of America with 4,000 Clubs worldwide, serving over 4,000,000 children yearly.
Today, the Boys & Girls Club is recognized as one of the premier youth development agencies in the world. The Clubs serve children throughout the Country and are located on U.S. Military Bases around the world.
