YOU BELONG!

Find your home away from home at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Schenectady!
A completed online application and a nominal fee is all you need to get started.
Any youth age 6 to 18 can join.

Our Clubs give parents peace of mind after school and during the summer, and kids know the Club is a safe place where they can be themselves, learn something new and have fun.

We call that a win-win.

We give youth and teens access to positive role models, fun and educational activities, healthy meals and snacks, opportunities to grow and build character and a chance to make lifelong friendships.
