For the past 25 years the Boys & Girls Clubs of Charlotte County has become the beacon of hope for the young people of Charlotte County. We are dedicated to supporting and strengthening the kids and families in our community. We are accomplishing our mission by providing a safe environment so kids can learn and grow. The Boys & Girls Club has provided programs and services to over 2000 kids and families this year alone in Charlotte County.


Whether kids dream of becoming a ballerina, an astronaut, lawyer, teacher, plumber or an all-star athlete, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Charlotte County can help their dreams become reality by providing an optimal club experience through which young people can reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. The real strength of our Clubs are the caring, trained, trustworthy youth development professionals who mentor our kids and teens every day.


EVERY MINUTE of EVERY DAY the contributions we receive actively work to reduce challenges that our local kids face such as food insecurity, obesity, violence, homelessness, truancy and summer learning loss. Your support gives them hope and a consistent safe place to rely on. Right now within Charlotte County we have a public health crisis. This means that in our communities our children are exposed to more child abuse, neglect, poverty, toxic stress, family alcohol or drug abuse and incarceration. These experiences can have a negative, long-term impact on their health and well-being.


The answer to this crisis is giving our children the skills and support to be resilient. Resilience is strengthened by having safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments within and outside their families that will help children reach their full potential. This is what we do for local kids at the Boys & Girls Club.


Myself, our Staff, Board of Directors and volunteers work tirelessly to provide the needed resources to continue making a positive impact on the children of Charlotte County, and together we can make a difference. I cannot be more proud of what we do for the kids in Charlotte County. GREAT FUTURES START HERE.
