Who We Are
In every community, boys and girls are left to find their own recreation and companionship…
sometimes in the streets. An increasing number of children are at home with no adult care or supervision.  Young people need to know that someone cares about them.

The Boys & Girls Club of Rochester offers that
and more. Club programs and services promote
and enhance the development of boys and girls
by instilling in them a sense of competence,
usefulness, belonging and influence.

Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and
grow-all while having fun. They are truly
The Positive Place For Kids.

The Boys & Girls Club Provides:
A safe place to learn and grow
Ongoing relationships with caring, adult professionals
Life-enhancing programs and character development experiences
Hope and opportunity

A Safe Place for Kids
Every day more than 200 boys and girls in
Rochester flash their membership cards to
come into a safe haven where they are
accepted for who they are, encouraged to
do their best, and leave knowing they are
valued and understood.

Dedicated Youth Facility
The Boys & Girls Club is a place-an actual
neighborhood-based building-designed
solely for youth programs and activities.

Open Daily
The Club is open Monday through Friday
after school and in the summer, when kids
have free time and need positive, productive
outlets.

Professional Staff
Every Club has full-time, trained youth
development professionals, providing positive
role models and mentors. Volunteers provide
key supplementary support.

Clubs reach out to kids who cannot afford, or
may lack access to, other community programs.
