At the Boys & Girls Clubs of Annapolis & Anne Arundel County, we inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring citizens. Founded in 1989 we have been serving the youth of our communities by being a force for good in kids’ lives. We are nationally recognized for the high quality of our programs and our comprehensive approach to serving youth. Every day almost 200,000 kids in Maryland leave school with nowhere to go. They risk being unsupervised, unguided and unsafe. These hours are a critical time for all youth -a time of risk to youth's health and safety, or a time that can represent an opportunity to learn and grow through quality after-school programs. BGCAA’s six Clubhouses are strategically located in communities identified to have a high concentration of poverty, including Low/Moderate Income Housing Communities and Subsidized Housing Communities. We focus on three priority outcomes: Academic Success Character and Citizenship Healthy Lifestyles Clubs are open when schools are out including every day after school until 7pm, during most school breaks and during the summer.
