Boys & Girls Clubs of America

Hi Email,

School is out, but Club kids aren't slowing down.

Across the country, they're exploring STEM, mentoring younger members, serving their communities, and preparing to become tomorrow's leaders. Here's a glimpse of what summer looks like at Boys & Girls Clubs.

This Summer at the Club

🔬 In Massachusetts…

Crystal first came to her Club as a self-described introvert. But with the encouragement of caring mentors, she followed her passion for STEM — and grew the confidence to lead.

Today, she's leading hands-on science experiments for younger Club kids, helping them explore everything from building circuits to extracting DNA, while introducing them to careers they may have never imagined.

"The Club welcomed me and helped shape the person I am today. I'm interested in neuroscience, and getting kids excited about STEM has only grown my fascination with how the brain works." — Crystal, Club kid

🏀 In Minnesota…

Brook'Lynn grew up on her Club's basketball court. Today, she's refereeing tournaments for younger members while preparing to become the first person in her family to attend college.

🥫 In Arkansas…

Holden began serving his community by building free food pantries for families. After advocating on Capitol Hill for those facing hunger, he's spending this summer mentoring younger Club kids and preparing for college.

Every day this summer, Club kids are building confidence, discovering new passions, and learning to lead — because someone believed in them first.

That's why America needs Club kids.

These are just some of the young people growing into tomorrow's leaders, advocates and changemakers. Read more of their stories and see what's happening in Clubs across the country.
