The Club’s Mission is “to inspire and empower all young people who pass through our doors to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.” We are proud to serve Placer County’s most precious young people alongside a Staff and Board of dedicated individuals actively committing themselves to preserving the Club as a safe place for kids to learn and grow. Since opening our doors in 1994, Boys & Girls Club of Placer County has been offering critical services to young people in our community with a wide range of programs in such areas as education, character development, career exploration, sports & recreation, the arts and community service. The positive programs and activities the Club provides for the youth of Placer County are helping them to become productive, self-sufficient individuals. We are committed to the Youth Development Strategy of instilling in our members a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and the power of influence. Hundreds of kids pass through the doors of our Club sites daily and the numbers continue to grow. We deeply believe in the potential of each and every one. Our staff is committed to bringing out the best in them – to help every kid BE GREAT – by giving them the tools and skills to not only succeed, but to excel in life. Club programs and services promote the youth development strategy by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence – all in a fun and safe environment. Our innovative programs are designed to engage our members in age-appropriate activities that support their academic success, provide expressive and artistic outlets, and help them develop strong, healthy bodies.
