The mission of the Boys and Girls Club of Freeport and Stephenson County is to help youth of all backgrounds, with special concern for those from disadvantaged circumstances, develop the qualities needed to become responsible citizens and leaders, irrespective of race, color, creed or national origin. The Elementary Sports League includes all grade schools in the Freeport School District. The 21st Century Community Learning Centers help elementary and middle school students in core academic subjects such as reading and math, offer a broad array of enrichment activities that complement regular academic programs, and offer literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children. Junior Staff is an apprentice program for teenage Club members to explore a career in youth or human services, particularly Boys & Girls Club work. Teen Reach and Teen Outreach are initiatives that create and expand the range of choices and opportunities in the Club that enable, empower, and encourage teens to achieve positive growth and development and improve expectations and capacities for future success. MLK Day is celebrated at the Club on the annual holiday with guest speakers and a variety of performers to commemorate Dr. King’s legacy. Steak & Burger Night in October and the Fit Competition in July are the Club’s premiere fundraisers. Volunteers must be 16 years or older, complete a Boys & Girls Clubs volunteer application, and undergo a background check at the Club’s expense, which takes about a week, and as a starting point they can download the volunteer application from the website, complete it, and bring it when ready to begin serving at the Club.
