Mission Statement
The Boys & Girls Club of Bay Mills is a local, autonomous affiliate of the Boys & Girls Club of American, whose mission is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible, caring citizens.

 

Affiliation
As an affiliate of the Boys & Girls Club of America since September of 2001, the Boys & Girls Club of Bay Mills is a part of a 140-year-old “Movement” of over 3000 clubs, serving over 4 million girls and boys. Our club, as in the case with Boys & Girls clubs in the U.S., is a completely autonomous organization with a local board of directors. 

 

Core Program Areas
Boys & Girls Club provides diverse activities that meet the interest of all youth. Core Programs engage young people in activities with adults, peers and family members that enable them to develop self-esteem and to reach their full potential. Based on physical, emotional, cultural and social needs and interest of boys and girls, and recognizing developing principals, clubs offer program activities in five areas

• Character and Leadership Development

• Education and Career Development

• Health and Life Skills

• The Arts/Cultural Development

• Sports, Fitness and Recreation

 

Open To: The Boys & Girls Club of Bay Mills is for all youth who are enrolled in school from ages 5 to 18, of all races, religions and cultures. Membership requires no proof of good character. The Club is designed to help and guide youth who may be in danger of acquiring, or who already have acquired, unacceptable habits and attitudes, as well as those of good character.

 

All new students (5 and 6 year olds) must attend kindergarten before they may enroll as Boys & Girls Club of Bay Mills members.
