Boys & Girls Club of Rochester has a lineup of tested and proven nationally recognized programs that address today's most pressing youth issues, teaching young people the skills they need to succeed in life.

The Boys & Girls Club of Rochester nurtures young people’s self esteem by instilling in them a sense of belonging, usefulness, influence, and competence. We do this daily by providing one-to-one relationships with caring adult professionals and fun, age-appropriate, well rounded programming.  Through Club programs, young people develop:

• A positive self-identity
• Educational, employment, social, emotional, and cultural competencies
• Community and civic involvement
• Health and well-being, and
• A moral compass.

We do this by directly addressing the physical, social, and cognitive development and health needs of youth with programs and activities in five core areas. Choose from the list below to learn more about each area:

• Character and Leadership Development
• Education and Career Development
• Health and Life Skills
• Arts and Culture
