Future Ready Gift Chart

For nearly six decades, our Boys & Girls Clubs have offered opportunities and mentoring so every young person has the chance to succeed in school, at work, and in life.

Boys & Girls Clubs currently operates eight Clubs in Wake County and two in Johnston County, with a focus on the most economically and socially challenged neighborhoods in our communities. Last year we were proud to see 3,455 youth ages 6-18 in our Clubs growing into confident, capable leaders. We offer engaging out-of-school-time programs that reinforce learning, introduce pathways to careers, and provide role models who guide positive relationships and behaviors. As part of a national 160-year movement to help individuals unlock their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens, we have a proven model for success.
