Our Mission
We enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens.
About Us
Since 1967, Boys & Girls Clubs of Wake & Johnston Counties have been a place where young people find safety, belonging, and opportunity. What started as one small Club is now a network of ten neighborhood Clubs serving thousands of kids each year.
Every day, Clubs offer more than a safe place after school. For just $7.50 a year, members gain caring mentors who know their names, nutritious meals, and programs that help them learn and build confidence. We're part of a national movement, but local donors and partners make this impact possible.
Our work rests on a simple belief: lasting change happens when young people are supported over time. Through a proven, research-based approach, we support the whole child and prepare kids for school, work, and life. Today, 100% of our Club seniors graduate on time with a plan for the future.
Because great futures
don't just happen.
They start here.
Core Values
We Create Belonging
Every young person is welcome here. We build safe, inclusive environments where kids feel seen, supported, and valued — a place where they can be themselves and know they belong.
We Show Up for Kids
We surround young people with caring adults, mentors, and role models who consistently show up, set high expectations, and help kids believe in themselves.
We Open Doors
Opportunity should never depend on circumstance. We remove barriers, meet real needs, and connect young people to experiences and pathways that expand what’s possible for their future.
We Prepare for
What's Next
Growth is intentional. We help young people build confidence, leadership, and practical skills — from academic success to workforce readiness — so they’re ready to take advantage of the opportunities ahead.
We Strengthen
Our Community
When kids thrive, communities do too. By investing in young people, partnering with families and supporters, and developing future leaders, we create impact that reaches far beyond our Club walls.
This is what we believe. Here's what it looks like.
