Children who participate in Boys and Girls Clubs of America aren’t running the streets – they are in a safe community facility under adult supervision. They are provided with homework help, recreation, a wide variety of activities from sports to arts to science, plus opportunities to learn life skills that create a solid foundation for continued growth.

- Keystone Club: 14-18 year olds plan and implement activities and community service projects
