Over 70% of adults who attended Boys & Girls Clubs say that the Club saved their lives. Studies show that Boys & Girls Clubs work to reduce drug, gang and early sexual involvement, and to increase the likelihood of graduating from high school.

We do not discriminate, while at the same time our target population is youth "who need us most."
