Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis

The mission of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis (BGCSTL) is to inspire and enable youth ages 6 to 18 to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens. For nearly 50 years, BGCSTL has been providing after-school, teen, sports and summer programs to youth in the St. Louis area while also providing a safe place for them to learn and grow. The Clubs now serve St. Louis youth at eleven locations (Adams Park Club, Bethalto Club, Hazelwood Elementary School at Larimore Club, Herbert Hoover Club, Mathews-Dickey Club, and the Teen Center of Excellence). BGCSTL also operates the St. Louis Internship Program and Mentor St. Louis. We are also a proud member of the United Way of Greater St. Louis. Summer camp is open to ages 6-18!

The Club is open during hours that kids are most likely to need a safe place to go — after school and during summer.

We serve kids in more than 90 zip codes, and our average daily attendance is over 450 youth. 36 board members, 95 full- and part-time staff members, and 700 volunteers work diligently to create, implement and sustain programming that nurtures the growth and self-esteem of members. Volunteers donate roughly 30,000 hours of their time annually.
