BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE
Nearly a year after the successful completion of A New Generation, the largest capital campaign in Boys & Girls Clubs of America history, we're reflecting on the vision that made today's transformations possible. Renovations at the Jeff Wyler and Dudley S. Taft Clubs are on track for completion this October, marking the final phase of a historic investment in safe, modern spaces where young people can learn, grow, and thrive for generations to come.
