Boys & Girls Clubs of the Columbia Area

The greatest gift we can give a child is the chance to feel safe, supported and full of possibility.

The mission of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Columbia is to inspire and enable all youth, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. We provide safe spaces filled with opportunity, enriching programs, and caring adults who actively cultivate relationships to ensure our youth feel connected, supported, and valued. Our programs focus on academics, sports & recreation, art, music & dance, health & wellness, and character & leadership. We serve over 300 youth ages 5-18 annually after school and during the summer. Every child attends our Club free of charge. Families are stretching every dollar, and we refuse to let financial barriers stand between young people and the stability and opportunity they deserve.

Kids need safe places to go after school.

Kids need healthy meals to fuel their bodies and minds.

Kids need caring mentors who believe in them.

Too many young people in our community still go without these essentials. But your gift to the Boys & Girls Club of Columbia can change that — helping meet the real, everyday needs of kids so they can rise, lead and thrive.

America needs Club kids. And right now, our Columbia kids need YOU.
