For generations, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Jackson County has been more than a place for kids to go after school—it is a place to belong, grow, and discover what is possible. In our Clubs, young people find caring adults who believe in them, academic support when they are struggling, meals and snacks, opportunities to explore new interests, and a safe environment where they can simply be kids. Through mentorship, enrichment, recreation, leadership development, workforce readiness and more, we help young people build the skills and confidence they need for great futures.

We also believe these opportunities should be available to every child, regardless of what their family can afford. That's why we intentionally keep our programs affordable, even though the true cost of providing safe facilities, trained staff, transportation, meals, supplies and high-quality programming far exceeds what families pay. The difference is made possible by generous donors, businesses and community partners who believe Jackson County's children are worth investing in.

When you support BGCJC, you aren't simply sponsoring a program or an event. You're investing in a child—and in the future of Jackson County. Strong kids become strong students, employees, leaders, parents and neighbors. With our community behind them, we can ensure the young people who need us most have the people, places and opportunities they need to reach their full potential.

We invite you to join us for Night for Youth 2026: To Infinity and Beyond, our signature fundraising event benefiting local children and teens. Experience an inspiring evening featuring Club member performances, powerful stories of impact, a look toward the future of our organization, and opportunities to invest directly in the young people we serve. This special event will take place  on Tuesday, October 20th at The Jefferson Church.

Together, there’s no limit to how far our kids can go!
