Since 1949, Boys & Girls Clubs has provided positive educational, recreational, leadership, and sports programming for Alachua County young people through quality after-school programs, summer camp, and additional afternoon programming during the summer for all Club members. We provide safe spaces for young people between the ages of 6 and 18 every week. Following guidance from Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s Movement, our Clubs implement programs which focus on developing five core areas: The Arts; Sports and Recreation; Leadership and Service; Health and Wellness; and Education. In 2017, Boys & Girls Clubs of Alachua County served an average of 250 young people each week through after-school programs and another 2,500 young people through community impact programming. In March 2020, Boys & Girls Clubs of Alachua County merged with Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Florida to become Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Florida in Alachua County. Together, the merger provides Alachua Clubs with increased sustainability, organizational structure, support and access to resources with the end goal of increasing total daily attendance 25 percent by 2025.
