The organization’s mission is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need them most, to reach their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens. The Clubs are neighborhood-centered and provide programming in areas such as character development, educational enhancement and career exploration. The organization employs full-time youth development professionals who are trained to implement its programs. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Harford County began in 1990 in Aberdeen, Maryland, later expanded to four Clubs in Harford County, and in 1999 the Boys & Girls Clubs of Cecil County was chartered; in 2018, the Harford and Cecil County organizations merged. The Clubs serve more than 7,500 youth annually and offer services in five core areas: character and leadership development, health and life skills, education and career development, the arts, and sports, fitness and recreation. The Board of Directors received a 2017 Silver Award from Boys & Girls Clubs of America for engagement and 100% individual contributions in 2016. The organization also operates a mobile initiative that brings youth development programming and food access to under-resourced communities and provides licensed care in several school locations in Harford, Cecil, and Kent Counties for before- and after-school time.
