What We Do
"Since the first time I went to the Club, I would not stop coming. I guess you can say the Club is home away from home. I have something to do when there is nothing to do and I have somewhere safe to go when there is nowhere to go."

No one else in Kansas City besides the Boys & Girls Clubs is offering affordable youth programming located in the toughest neighborhoods..
The number of children who are at home with no adult care or supervision has only increased over the past ten years. Within every community, boys and girls are left to find their own recreation and create their own friendships. Young people need to know that someone cares about them.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Kansas City provides a fun and safe environment for youth, ages 5-18, to learn, play, meet new friends and grow. From sports, digital arts and media, to group activities and tutoring, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Kansas City provides top-quality programs to thousands of area youth each day. Whether it is learning how an individual can make a difference in his/her community or learning how to play basketball – our Clubs strive to help youth feel important and put their dreams within reach.
School’s Out – No Problem
Before and after school, on snow days, some holidays, Saturdays and school out days, the Clubs an active, engaging and safe place for nearly 7,000 area youth. Not only is this a great place for youth to learn and grow, but a place to have a blast doing it! The Clubs are truly a great place for great kids!
