BE A HERO, HELP KIDS HAVE A SUPER SUMMER!
Remember when summer meant you could do ANYTHING?
When summer was a time when everything felt brighter, more vibrant, and full of possibilities?
Boys & Girls Club members crave that feeling, too, and each year during the summer they embrace that feeling as they strive to reach their full potential.
As a valiant part of our community, you can do so much to help the kids we serve to believe in those possibilities. Your intrepid commitment to our mission is invaluable, and we are incredibly grateful for your support.
Supporters like you have made possible all the soccer games against their rival clubs, all the hands-on STEM projects that challenged their imagination, and all the field trips filled with equal parts thrills and learning. Your dauntless donations each spring have been a vital part of ensuring our members have a summer to remember.
Summer is almost here, but never fear! You can still put on your mask and cape to make a difference for kids who need it most.
Will you help our members have a Super Summer? No matter great or small, any donation makes you a hero!
Mentorship
We are dedicated to providing mentorship opportunities that inspire, empower, and support the incredible youth in our community.
Research consistently shows that mentoring has a profound impact in the lives of youth. Youth are more likely to enroll in college, less likely to engage in substance abuse, and more likely to have higher self-esteem, improved behavior, and stronger relationships with parents, educators, and peers.
Our dedicated staff work hard each day to make sure every child we serve has equal access to these opportunities. Click here to read more!
Field Trips
Each summer, we aim to provide enriching experiences that open doors to learning, exploration, and fun. Whether it's a museum, a nature reserve, or a local event, these experiences are designed to spark curiosity and create lasting memories.
Every outing is an opportunity to connect what youth learn in the Club to the real world—helping them grow, dream big, and see the possibilities beyond their everyday environment.
Each summer, our Club kids get to experience unforgettable moments thanks to folks like you.
STEM
Our STEM programming provides youth with engaging opportunities to explore the worlds of science, technology, engineering, and math. Through hands-on science experiments, building structures, and exploring mathematical concepts, we help our members develop valuable skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity.
These activities challenge our members to work collaboratively and apply their knowledge in meaningful ways.
By making STEM fun and accessible, we aim to inspire youth to see the endless possibilities in these fields and develop the confidence they need to pursue future careers in science, tech, engineering, and math.
The Arts
Summer gives our members something they don’t always get during the school year: space to breathe, explore, and create without boundaries. Our arts programs give kids the freedom to express themselves in ways that feel personal and powerful.
But what makes summer special is that creativity isn’t confined to the Club. Field trips, nature walks, and community adventures become fresh sources of inspiration. When kids are exposed to more of the world, their imaginations grow—and with it, their confidence and curiosity.
The arts help our members see that their ideas matter—and that the world is full of beauty waiting to be explored.
Tutoring
We believe education is a lifelong pursuit—and that includes summer. While many kids experience learning loss over the break, our Club members are staying sharp thanks to tutoring programs designed to keep them engaged and confident.
But we don’t stop at worksheets and whiteboards. We take learning outside the box, using field trips as opportunities for real-world education—like discovering ecosystems at local parks, touring historic landmarks, or learning how businesses work behind the scenes. Every outing becomes a lesson, and every member returns to school with new knowledge, stronger skills, and a renewed belief in their own potential.
Sports
Team sports teach more than how to win. They teach how to show up for others, how to communicate, and how to work toward a shared goal. That’s why our summer sports programs are about more than just staying active—they’re about building character and connection.
Summer gives us a special opportunity to bring Clubs together from across Polk County for tournaments, games, and friendly competitions. Kids get to meet new teammates, form friendships beyond their own neighborhood, and experience the excitement of being part of something bigger. These interactions help build a sense of belonging, pride, and camaraderie that stays with them—on the field, in the Club, and out in the world.
