About Boys and Girls Club of Canada
Community-based services.
Positive relationships. Life-changing programs. As Canada's largest child- and youth-serving
organization, Boys and Girls Clubs provide vital programs and
services to over 200,000 young people in 700 communities across
Canada. During critical
out-of-school hours, our Clubs help young people discover who they
are, what they can do, and how they can get there. Our trained
staff and volunteers give them the tools to realize positive
outcomes in self-expression, academics, healthy living, physical
activity, mental health, leadership, and more. Since 1900, Boys and
Girls Clubs have opened their doors to children, youth, and
families in small and large cities, and rural and Indigenous
communities. If a young person needs it, our Clubs provide it.
