Research studies indicate that regular participation in out-of-school time programs is positively associated with many academic and other benefits for children and youth. Programs like those offered at the Boys & Girls Club of New Rochelle can:

• Increase social competence, communication skills, and problem-solving skills
• Improve academic achievement
• Decrease school dropout rates
• Reduce antisocial behavior, drug and cigarette use

At the Boys & Girls Club of New Rochelle, we have been providing a safe, structured and positive environment for youth, ages 6 to 18, for more than 79 years. We provide not just a safe haven for youth, we are also charged with helping youth to develop the attitudes, skills, values and behaviors that enable them to succeed in life. With three locations throughout the city of New Rochelle, we impact almost 3,000 youth every year by offering a wide array of programs and services after school, during school holidays, and the entire summer.

Our members pay annual dues of only $30 per year which gives them access to all of our locations, and programs that include after school tutoring, homework help, computer and technology centers, arts & crafts, leadership training, sports and recreation, dance and more. But in order to keep our membership dues low and maintain the quality of services that we have always provided, we need the support of individuals like you. Our community’s future depends upon it.

You can get involved today by making a donation that will support the programs and services that make such a positive difference in the lives and futures of our children during their out-of-school time, and help us to reach out to the children who need us most. Show your commitment today and ensure that our young people continue to have a safe place to learn, grow, and play.
