The Boys & Girls Clubs in Colorado is a nonprofit organization formed to maximize the impact of Clubs across Colorado and drive partnerships with state government. Colorado Clubs impact the lives of young people in vital areas such as academic success, healthy lifestyles, and good character and citizenship. We develop children to become productive, caring, and responsible adults. Club kids develop the skills needed for academic success, the experiences needed to enter the workforce, and the character to actively engage in their communities. It is not an overstatement that an investment in the Boys and Girls Clubs in Colorado is an investment in the future social and economic success of our state.
Our 17 unique Boys & Girls Club organizations across the state serve over 40,000 youth a year in cities, rural communities, military bases and tribal lands. Leveraging the partnership between private and public investment, Colorado Clubs serve more kids than any other youth focused organization outside of the public school system.
We aspire to provide school age youth, particularly those who are from disadvantaged circumstances, with a quality out-of-school experience.
Mission
We support Colorado Boys & Girls Clubs to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens.
Background Statement
Our movement has deep roots.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of America began in 1860 as the Boys Club in Hartford, Conn. After that, the movement quickly spread throughout the United States. In 1956, Boys Clubs of America celebrated its 50th anniversary and received a U.S. Congressional Charter. And, in 1990, the national organization’s name was changed to Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
For nearly two decades, the Colorado Alliance of Boys & Girls Clubs has been advocating for youth of the state. Each Club has its own story, but they all lead to #GreatFuturesColorado.
