Our Mission

To inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need us the most​, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring citizens.

Our Code

I believe in God and the right to worship according to my own faith and religion.

I believe in America and the American way of life…in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

I believe in fair play, honesty, and sportsmanship.

I believe in my Boys and Girls Club which stands for these things.

We believe that every Boy & Girl

has unlimited potential

to make a unique difference

if we give them the tools

to build a Great Future.

Old Problems & New Struggles

Whether it's the continuing effects of generational poverty or the pressure of trying to grow up in a confusing and fast-paced world, today's youth are facing challenges that they are not equipped for.

We're doing

Whatever it takes

to build Great Futures.

Every community, family, school system and young person is different. Boys & Girls Clubs across North Alabama are designed to integrate into communities and meet the needs of their youth right where they are.

​

We provide programs, people and pathways that teach young people how to live, lead, and serve no matter where they are from or what challenges they face.

​

We do this by partnering with people and organizations who understand that building a better community begins with providing our youth with an education that provides real-life skills for the real world.
