For over 117 years, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington has been making a positive difference in the lives of area youth, helping them build confidence, develop character, and acquire the skills needed to become productive, civic-minded, responsible adults. Today, the organization provides after-school academic enrichment and athletic activities for 35,000 children annually throughout the National Capital Region.

From public schools to public housing, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington's clubs come in a variety of shapes and sizes: some are full-service, self-sustaining facilities; some operate out of two-plus bedroom apartments in public housing complexes; and some share space with high schools and elementary schools. But all offer the same basic recipe for giving kids the tools they need to become productive adults: a safe place to learn and grow; ongoing relationships with caring, adult professionals; life-enhancing programs; character development experiences; and hope and opportunity.
