Did you know that this week is National Boys & Girls Club Week? This special week was created to celebrate the invaluable service that clubs can bring to our communities and to highlight why great futures start at the Boys & Girls Club. More than 4,000 Boys & Girls opened their doors to serve millions of kids across our nation as well as military bases overseas where they can grow and have a great future. At the Boys & Girls Club, you will find that they provide both guidance and lots of fun. The children in these clubs are able to participate in programs that can help them excel in school, give back to their own communities an choose a healthy lifestyle.
During this celebration, different clubs across the country have been participating in fun activities for the club members, their parents as well as the neighborhood too! Some of these fun events that have been happening include carnivals, heath fairs, teen forums, service and leadership groups and a ton more! You will also find these boys & girls giving back to their community by volunteering at homeless shelters and assisted living facilities in our communities.
Are you interested in getting your child involved in the National Boys and Girls Club Week? Take the virtual tour. If you are interested, but can’t get out to do a physical tour, you can take a virtual Club tour this week at greatfutures.org. Even if you can’t get to your local Club, you can still celebrate the spirit of our Movement by spending time with an important kid in your life.

“I wrote this review while participating in a campaign for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. I received a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.”
I am always pro organizations like the Boys and Girls Club. Unfortunately, the location nearest to us is privately owned and charges much higher membership and activity fees.
I don’t know if there is one near me or not.
Such a fantastic organization.
I visited a Boys & Girls Club in Atlanta last week and was so impressed by the programs they have in place for kids!
I’m going to have to see if there is one close in my new neighborhood.
Such a great organization!
I don’t know if there is one in my new town — I’l have to check!
Thanks for sharing!
It is a great organization! My stepsons went there tor years!
We have other programs close by, and I really want to put my sons in them…Boys and Girls Club have saved many children!
I just moved and need to check this out in my new area.

They do wonderful things for kids! My ex’s best friend did it and it was fantastic.
