FROM THE CLUBHOUSE TO THE WHITE HOUSE
For more than 150 years, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis has provided after-school, summer, teen, and sports programs for youth ages 6–18 across the region. The clubs are open during the hours that kids are most likely to need a safe place to go—after school and during the summer. Boys & Girls Clubs programs have taken members from the clubhouse to the White House, from the games room to the corporate board room, and from the high school orchestra to Carnegie Hall. Nationally recognized programs address today’s most pressing youth issues and teach young people the skills they need to succeed in life. It is Boys & Girls Clubs’ hope that every kid who comes through the clubs’ doors graduates from high school with a plan for their future. Membership fees are kept low to allow any child the opportunity to join for access to after-school home-work assistance, tutoring, college and career planning, recreational activities, access to transportation, free dental and vision care, as well as healthy meals in a safe, supportive learning environment.
