Programs

              

Every day from 2:30 to 8:00, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Kentuckiana opens its doors to kids ages 6 to 18, in a safe, positive environment. Agency programs are designed to reinforce and enhance a sense of belonging, competence, usefulness, power and influence in members. The organization encourages the development of the whole child by focusing on five key areas: Character & Leadership Development; Education & Career Development; Health & Life Skills; The Arts; and, Sports, Fitness, and Recreation. In each of its Clubs, during every hour that clubs are open, full-time, college-educated, professionally trained staff are engaged with kids. Many of our leaders grew up in Boys & Girls Clubs themselves, and have dedicated their adult careers to providing the kind of caring guidance and mentoring they received in their younger days. Our Clubs are set up specifically to serve youth. They are located in neighborhoods where our members live so they are convenient and easy to get to. Each of our Clubs has a gym, a games room, a computer room, an education room and dedicated teen space. We operate 4 clubs: Newburg (KY), Shawnee (KY), Ed Endres (IN), and Jeffersonville (IN).
