Boys & Girls Club of the Columbia Area

Who We Are

In every community, boys and girls are left to find their own recreation and companionship in the streets.  An increasing number of children are at home with no adult care or supervision.  Young people need to know that someone cares about them.

Boys & Girls Clubs offer that and more.  Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging, and influence.

Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow — all while having fun.  It is truly The Positive Place For Kids.
