Who We Are - Boys and Girls Club of the Twin Cities

We help great kids reach new heights.
More and more children in the Twin Cities are left at home with no adult care or supervision. Thankfully, the Boys & Girls Clubs offer a safe place for them to learn, grow and have fun.
  • Our Mission
    The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Twin Cities enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
