THE MISSION OF BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB OF ABILENE

"

To enable and inspire all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.

OUR FACT & FIGURES

Our yearly budget is $1,200,000

What the numbers do not show are the lives affected daily by caring staff who make an impact on the kids we serve.  A hug, a smile, a high five all contribute to a positive experience for our members after school.  Whether they are in the homework room, the reading room, the computer lab, the gym, or games room, they are being attended to by positive role models.

Numbers will not reflect the impact upon them today, but numbers will reflect the impact upon their futures as they graduate high school, go to work or seek higher education.

OUR STAFF

open daily: open every day, after school, when kids have free time and need positive, productive outlets

professional staff: every club has full-time, trained youth development professionals, providing positive role models and mentors. volunteers provide key supplementary support

available & affordable to all youth: clubs reach out to kids who cannot afford or may lack access to, other community programs
