The mission of your Boys & Girls Club of the Smoky Mountains is to INSPIRE and ENABLE all young people, especially THOSE WHO NEED US MOST, to fulfill their potential in becoming PRODUCTIVE, CARING & RESPONSIBLE citizens. Our goal is to provide all youth with the gifts of a world class Club experience that ASSURES SUCCESS is within reach of every young person who enters our doors, with all members ON TRACK TO GRADUATE high school with a PLAN FOR THE FUTURE, demonstrating GOOD CHARACTER and citizenship, and living a HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. For every hour a child spends in school, they spend two hours out of school. How they spend those out of school hours can significantly impact the path they take, especially for low income youth. We need to reach more Sevier County kids who are without after school and summer programming so we can break the cycle of poverty and guide them to become productive, caring and responsible adults.
