Our Mission
Mission Statement
is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most
to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
A Boys & Girls Club Provides:
- A safe place to learn and grow
- Ongoing relationships with caring, adult professionals
- Life-enhancing programs and character development experiences
- Hope and opportunity
- A Safe Place for Kids
Every day more than 400 boys and girls in the Northwest Georgia area flash their assigned membership number to come into a safe haven where they are accepted for who they are, encouraged to do their best, and leave knowing they are valued and understood. Four key characteristics define the essence of a Boys & Girls Club. All are critical in exerting positive impact on the life of a child.
Dedicated Youth Facility
The Boys & Girls Club is a place—an actual neighborhood-based building—designed solely for youth programs and activities.
Open Daily
The Club is open five days a week, after school and during school breaks, when kids have free time and need positive, productive outlets.
Professional Staff
Every Club has full-time, trained youth development professionals, providing positive role models and mentors. Volunteers provide key supplementary support.
Available/Affordable to All Youth
Dues and program fees remain low and are discounted for those in need of assistance.
