Since 1952, we have been providing a Positive Place for Kids where they can spend time after school and during the summer.
Our Clubs are for kids ages 7-17 and our fee is $5.00 a year (subject to change please check with your local Club). We have 10 locations in the Greater Houston areas (Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris and Waller county).
Through the assistance of donations from corporations, foundations, government grants and people like you, we are able to offer our kids a fun place to hang out with friends, enjoy a meal, participate in sports leagues, get help with their homework, learn computer skills, art skills and much much more.
All Boys & Girls Club programs are based on a youth development strategy that builds self-confidence and self-esteem, and fosters a sense a belonging, competence, usefulness and influence.
