In every community, boys and girls are sometimes left to find their own recreation and companionship wherever that may be and sometimes that means at home with no adult care or supervision. Young people need to know that someone cares about them.
The Boys & Girls Club of Rockford offers that and more. Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of our youth by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging, and influence. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for youth in our community, regardless of sex, race or economic background.
Our core programs engage young people in activities that enable them to reach their full potential. Based on the interests and needs of the youth we serve, clubs offer diverse program activities in three areas: Academic Success, Good Character and Leadership Development, and Healthy and Life Styles.
