Description:

The mission of Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Ohio is to empower young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens. We have been providing out-of-school programming to underserved youth in Columbus since 1948. We operate eight Clubs in central Ohio's most at-risk neighborhoods and serve kids between the ages of 5 -- 18. Residents in these neighborhoods face great challenges including poverty, high crime rates, vacant housing and barriers to educational and career attainment. Ninety-three percent of Club members are economically disadvantaged, and 23% report that they live in households with annual incomes under $5,000. At the Club we offer a comprehensive array of evidence-based programs that focus on three core pillars: 1) Academic Success 2) Good Character & Leadership and 3) Healthy Lifestyles. A typical day at the Club includes structured activities, a well-balanced meal and daily physical activity. Our Clubs are traditionally open five days a week from 3-7 p.m. during the school year and all day in the summer. In response to the pandemic and the full-time virtual programming that our local school districts are offering, our Clubs have shifted hours to 7:30 a.m. -- 3 p.m., Monday -- Thursday.
