The POSITIVE Place For Kids
 
In every community, boys and girls are left to find their own recreation and companionship in the streets. An increasing number of children are at home with no adult care or supervision. Young people need to know that someone cares about them.
 
Boys & Girls Clubs offer that and more. Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence.
 
Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow -- all while having fun. It is truly

The Positive Place For Kids.

 
A Boys & Girls Club Provides:
 
* A safe place to learn and grow...
* Ongoing relationships with caring, adult professionals...
* Hope and opportunity.
* Life-enhancing programs and character development experiences...

 

 
A Safe Place for Kids:  Every day boys and girls in the Webster - Dudley flash their membership cards to come into a safe haven where they are accepted for who they are, encouraged to do their best, and leave knowing they are valued and understood.
 
Dedicated Youth Facility:  The Boys & Girls Club is a place -- an actual neighborhood-based building -- designed solely for youth programs and activities.
 
Open Daily:  The Club is open every day, after school and evenings, when kids have free time and need positive, productive outlets.
 
Professional Staff:  Every Club has full-time, trained youth development professionals, providing positive role models and mentors. Volunteers provide key supplementary support.
 
Available/Affordable to All Youth:  Clubs reach out to kids who cannot afford, or may lack access to, other community programs. Dues are low, only $25.00 per year.

We ascribe to a set of core values in our work with children, youth, family and community that define our reason for being and are the standard against which all Boys and Girls Clubs services are measured. Our programs are accessible to all youth and reflect the ever-changing needs of youth and families in our communities.
