BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB

Invest in the Lives of Children

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBSIn 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.

You can make a difference by investing your time or financial support at one of our Clubs.

"100 years from now, it will not matter ~
What kind of car I drove,
What kind of house I lived in,
How much money I had,
But the world may be different because
I was important in the life of a child".

Boys & Girls Clubs of Manatee County's 6 Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow – all while having fun. We truly are The Positive Place For Kids.
