Who We Are and What We Provide

Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Cincinnati has, for the past 70 years, provided a safe place for the children of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky to spend their non-school hours, surrounded by caring adults and engaged in enriching youth development activities. Last year, over 12,000 young people from this community took part in age-appropriate educational, artistic, recreational and leadership development programming at our nine local Boys & Girls Club sites.

We are youth development specialists that provide daily access to a diverse array of programs designed for ALL kids ages 6-18.Clubs are open after-school and during the day in the summer. Boys & Girls Clubs empower young people, provide a nurturing environment and are a fun place to be. Every club member receives a hot, nutritious meal each day. We operate 5 teen centers that give teens a place to call their own and access to career counseling, college assistance, and tutoring. Average daily attendance for all sites is 950 Club Members.
