Since 1998, the Boys & Girls Club of Erie County has helped thousands of local “at risk” youth reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. We have a bold vision: that success is within the reach of every child. We believe every boy and girl deserves a safe place to learn and grow, develop ongoing relationships with caring adult professionals, participate in life-enhancing programs, experience character development, and have hope and opportunity for the future. Boys & Girls Club of Erie County is also a member of the Boys & Girls Club of America which has over 4,000 affiliated Clubs. This national affiliation offers us additional input and guidance about how to best serve our members.
