Boys & Girls Club of Rochester
on Facebook
Welcome to the official web site of
Boys & Girls Club
of Rochester
It was 10 years ago when a small group came together to open a Boys & Girls Club in Rochester. A small group, who created a vision, searched for funding, developed a board and opened the doors of Boys & Girls Club of Rochester in early 2000.
It all began in a small building across the street from Cub Foods. Soon after the doors opened the Club out grew its space. Today the Boys & Girls Club serves over 1800 members in 3 full service sites, over 200 youth a day attend the programs and services the Club provides.
In the last 10 years we have provided high school seniors who need it the most over $25,000 in college scholarships. We have assisted over 3000 youth with their homework. Served over 175,000 meals and snacks, youth have learned to swim, read, act, write, garden, sing, dance, play, and care for others and our community. Youth have traveled thousands of miles taking both physical and virtual field trips, the have explored cultures, learned to unify through differences and embraced each other. In 10 years, members have become nurses, entrepreneurs, navy officers, college graduates, high school graduates and contributing members to our community.
Ten years has brought a lot of change and growth in our world impacting everyone’s lives… Thank you for making the last ten years GREAT!
What is the Club?
The Club is a community-based organization that provides young people with a fun, safe, and constructive environment when they are not at home or school. The Club offers programs and services designed to build character and strengthen life skills.
Neighborhood-centered, Clubs provide programming in specialized areas, including character development, educational enhancement and career exploration. Clubs are staffed by paid, trained youth development professionals. Through a system of informal guidance, Club staff form strong bonds with young people and help them make smart choices in life. For many Club members, Club staff are the most influential positive adult role models in their lives.
For all of these reasons and more, Boys & Girls Clubs are truly "The Positive Place for Kids".
Our Mission
To empower all young people, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring community members.
Our Vision
To give every child access to a safe, nurturing, educational environment, that positively impacts their lives.
