The Boys & Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Phoenix ...
Where Kids Come First!
In a world that is rapidly and radically changing, today’s youth need a safe haven that provides them with the resources needed to
succeed. The Boys & Girls Club is that safe haven.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Phoenix inspires and enables youth in our community, especially those faced with diffi cult
and challenging circumstances, to realize their individual potential while learning responsible citizenship.
By focusing on fi ve core programs that help develop a positive self-identity, educational competencies,
and values, the Club can enable youth to develop positive relationships with others. These fi ve core
programs include Education & Career Development; the Arts; Health & Life Skills; Sports, Fitness &
Recreation; and Character & Leadership Development. Youth with these capacities are more likely to
become responsible citizens and leaders who make meaningful
contributions and live successful lives.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Phoenix is a safe place for
our community’s children to learn and grow - all while having fun.
Membership dues average only $30 per year, yet more than half of the youth served by the
Boys & Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Phoenix must receive some scholarship assistance, as no
child is turned away because of his/her family’s inability to pay.
Membership dues constitute only 1% of the club’s annual budget. All-day summer program
fees comprise another 4%. This is all the communities we serve can afford, and where
children most need the safety, stability, and positive programs of their local
neighborhood Boys & Girls Club.
