The mission of the Boys & Girls Clubs is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need us the most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.

Since 1967, Boys & Girls Clubs of Austin has been helping kids from tough neighborhoods stay out of trouble, stay in school and succeed in life. More than a safe haven for kids “at risk,” the Clubs are daily examples of how good life can be as they nurture, inspire and celebrate the limitless potential of our young people. Last year more than 10,000 kids walked through our doors to find a safe place, life-enhancing programs, a relationship with caring, trained adults, and a sense of hope for a future of bright possibilities.  Through our programs and services, kids find their individual competencies and develop relationships with positive role models. Ultimately, we help each of our kids develop a sense of competency, a sense of belonging, a sense of usefulness, and a sense of influence. Your support of the Boys & Girls Clubs is more than charity. It’s an investment in our community’s most precious, natural resource.
