For more than a century, Boys & Girls Clubs have supported young people during critical out-of-school hours by creating environments where kids and teens can learn, grow, and build positive relationships. Boys & Girls Clubs of America is a national nonprofit serving kids and teens across the United States, Native lands, and military installations through a network of more than 5,500 local Clubs, reaching more than 4 million children and youth each year. The organization provides safe spaces, caring mentors, healthy meals and snacks, and evidence-based programs that support academic success, leadership skills, and health and wellness. The program is staffed by trained adults who guide, coach, and motivate kids to be successful.
Boys & Girls Clubs of America is described as a trusted, top-rated nonprofit that is widely recognized for its transparency and outcomes for kids, and it consistently earns high ratings from independent nonprofit evaluators. Major League Baseball designated Boys & Girls Clubs of America as an official charitable partner in 1997. Since a small group of Club members first went to camp in 1999, the collaboration between Camp Joy and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Cincinnati has impacted hundreds of kids.
Parents and former Club kids describe their experiences in positive terms, including one parent who said that conversations with the director, meeting the camp counselors, and seeing how happy the kids were confirmed that the Boys & Girls Club was the best summer program for her child. A former Club kid shared that the Club was a safe, affordable aftercare option for her parents and, for her, a whirlwind of activities and new opportunities.
