Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington – Club Programs

Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington – Club Programs offers club-based activities where youth attend to participate in activities, see their friends, and spend time with positive and encouraging adults. The program follows a Formula for Impact that includes high-yield learning activities, targeted programs, and regular attendance, with a focus on Academic Success, Good Character and Citizenship, and Healthy Lifestyles. All BGCGW sites use this model across 26 club locations that serve as safe havens for members and are open when schools are not.

• Ages: 6–18 years old
• Price: We welcome every child for a nominal annual membership fee, but will not turn any child away for inability to pay.

The mission of Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington is to help boys and girls of all backgrounds, especially those who need the program most, build confidence, develop character and acquire the skills needed to become productive, civic-minded, responsible adults.
