For over 70 years, Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Richmond (BGCMR) has encouraged and supported countless youth, built strong relationships, and provided access to community resources.

We offer year-round, out-of-school time programs for youth ages 11-24. We offer after-school programs during the school year, with hours varying by location. During the summer, our Clubs are open all day. Want to join us? Contact the Clubs above for more information.

We provide a safe and enriching space.

The Club is a haven for kids after school, a place that is both physically and psychologically safe. We stay open as late at 7:30 p.m. in some locations. At the Club, our students can take a deep breath and finish homework, learn new skills, play with friends or spend time with our friendly and professional staff. 

We develop long-lasting relationships.

At Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Richmond, our mentors know that it takes time to build strong relationships. Once students join the Club, we’re committed to them for life. 

We help students make good decisions. 

We help Club members focus on what remains within their control. Whether it’s healthy study habits or how they treat themselves or others, we help Club members make the best decisions by surrounding them with positive choices every day.

We create opportunities for discovery.

At Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Richmond, our diverse programs are backed by data and decades of expertise.

We belief that all youth have the potential to thrive:

• All youth deserve access to the people, networks, and ideas that help them lead a healthy life and be a productive member of the community.​

• Youth need to be actively engaged in our decision-making processes.  ​

• Emotional and physical safety is foundational to thriving.

Every day at the Club, we’re building friendships and learning skills to last a lifetime.

We help students grow and strengthen skills.

Leadership requires courage, responsibility and determination. But leaders also need confidence. 

We help students build confidence every day at the Club. With every positive experience and every new discovery, Club members walk out our doors ready to face the world.

Together, we’re building brighter futures every day.
