The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Westfield, Inc. is a not-for-profit, 501 (c)(3) youth development agency affiliated with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, that has been providing life enhancing youth programs and services since we first opened in 1969 in a converted 1,295 sf parlor. 52 years later, we are serving over 1,600 youth per year in a 46,000-sf facility complete with a swimming pool, gym, technology center, fine and performing arts studios, teen center, game rooms, education room, athletic fields, and licensed child care classrooms. We currently offer a state licensed child care program for ages 5-12 and a general membership program for ages 9-18. School aged programs are available before school, after school, and during all school vacations. Activities within these programs focus on providing opportunities to explore concepts in Five core Areas: Education & Career Development; Sports, Fitness & Recreation; the Arts; Health & Life Skills; and Character & Leadership Development. All participants are offered free snacks and meals, and during summer vacation, the Club also distributes free lunches at 10 locations. It is our mission to inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens.
