The Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Mississippi (BGCCM) has been serving the community for 78 years. Unlike other youth organizations, BGCCM are facility-based. Our four community Clubs and a 500 acre Camp are strategically placed in some of Central Mississippi's most troubled neighborhoods. Each Club facility is open when school is out, from 2 P.M. - 8 P.M., which is a critical time to be accessible by the young people who need us most. Activity fees are minimal and scholarships are available as needed. BGCCM enhances the development of youth, ages 6 -18, by installing a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence. The Clubs provide homework help, energizing sports and recreational activities, nutritional education, character and leadership skill building, and college prep. MISSION: To enable all young people especially those who need us most to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens. CORE VALUE: We are committed to providing timely services directed to meet the needs of Club and community youth by providing specialized programs where possible.
