About the Boys & Girls Club of Meriden
A Positive Place for Kids!
Our Mission
To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
A Boys & Girls Club Provides:
- A safe place to learn and grow
- Ongoing relationships with caring, adult professionals
- Life-enhancing programs and character development experiences
- Hope and opportunity
Three key characteristics define the essence of the Boys & Girls Club of Meriden. All are critical in exerting positive impact on the life of a child:
- Dedicated Youth Facility
The Boys & Girls Club is a place – an actual neighborhood-based building – designed solely for youth programs and activities. - Professional Staff
Every Club has full-time, trained youth development professionals, serving as positive role models and mentors. Volunteers provide key supplementary support. - Available and Affordable to All Youth
Clubs reach out to kids who cannot afford, or may lack access to, other community programs at a low cost.
