The organization has been providing a safe and welcoming space for island youth since 1937. Its mission is to empower youth through transformative programs, community services, and positive relationships, with a focus on building strong connections, fostering well-being, promoting healthier lives, and inspiring a shared commitment to help individuals find belonging and realize a brighter future. As part of its community involvement, the organization prepares 5,000 healthy meals and snacks per month at no cost to families and rescues and redistributes 1,000 pounds of food surplus each week.

One parent describes the Martha's Vineyard Boys & Girls Club as “like a second home” for their child, where the child has fun, learns important life lessons, and gains the confidence to dream big.
