In my 20-plus years in the Boys & Girls Club movement, I've had the honor of being an agent change — working to provide exceptional before- and after-school programs that meet the needs of our youth. With the support of our national office, BGCRR is committed to serving the whole child, offering academic, fitness, and enrichment opportunities that lay the foundation for lifelong success.
Thanks to our dedicated partners and supporters, we continue to enhance our ever-growing clubhouse including a bustling playground, lively classrooms, and improved restrooms that better serve our transitional kindergarten and kindergarten members.
Everyday, our club members are building and practicing STEM and literacy skills through fun, engaging activities that challenge and expand their abilities. Guided by our remarkable Youth Development Specialists, BGCRR provides a safe space where youth can learn and grow.
At BGCRR, we also understand the power off partnering with partners. We love collaborating to find the creative ways to support our members' academic success.
