The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater New Haven (BGCGNH) takes great pride in its mission to help young people reach their full potential. We do this through programs focused on three core program pillars: Academic Success, Good Character and Citizenship, and Healthy Lifestyles. Let’s take you on a virtual journey to show how our programs are designed to support each of these pillars.
Academic Success
BGCGNH programs support students’ academic excellence. Our homework assistance, tutoring, and engaging enrichment activities foster a love for learning and provide the support needed for students to thrive in school.
Good Character and Citizenship
BGCGNH’s middle and high school leadership programs support the development of strong leaders and responsible citizens. Members take on leadership roles and engage in community service, building a sense of responsibility and the importance of giving back.
Healthy Lifestyles
At BGCGNH, we promote both physical and emotional well-being through sports, recreation, and educational programs. By encouraging physical activity and teaching healthy choices, we help our members develop habits that support long-term health and wellness.



BGCGNH’s commitment to these program pillars is reflected in the positive feedback we receive from members and their families. In fact, 98% of youth participants feel accepted for who they are at the Club, and 96% believe that the adults at the Club are confident in their potential for success. Parents express their gratitude for the safe, nurturing environment we provide, noting the positive impact on their children’s growth and development.
We’re excited to continue empowering young people with the skills, confidence, and values they need to reach their full potential and contribute to their communities in meaningful ways.
