Our Mission + Vision
Our mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
With over 252,000 children in Maryland lacking access to out-of-school time programs, our vision is to close that gap—one child, one Club, one community at a time.
We believe every kid has what it takes.
Our Values Guide Us
When kids have Clubs, everyone wins.
Feel safer at the Club than other places they spend their time

Kids that attend a Boys & Girls Club in Maryland...
And we show up every day to give kids the support they deserve.
With over 160 years of evidence, Boys & Girls Clubs work by combining trained staff, safe and welcoming spaces, and innovative, quality programs to drive positive outcomes in four areas: Health & Well-being, Character & Leadership, Academic Success, and Life & Workforce Readiness. We nurture the enormous, equal potential inside every young person by providing access to experiences and opportunities that change kids' lives for the better– regardless of their socio-economic status, color of their skin, or other factors that contribute to inequity in the U.S. today.
