ABOUT
BGCEASTAL
At the Boys & Girls Clubs of East Alabama, we are more than just a place for kids
to go after school. We are a community dedicated to inspiring and empowering
young people to reach their full potential. Through innovative programs, caring
mentors, and opportunities that open doors to brighter futures, we provide a
safe, inclusive, and enriching environment where every child can thrive. Together,
we are building great futures - one life at a time.
In support of our commitment to helping young people reach their full potential,
we invested more than $275,000 last year in need-based scholarships, expanding
access to Boys & Girls Club programs.
As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization serving over 15,000+ affiliated youth, our
Clubhouses offer exceptionally diverse after-school and summer camp programs
in aquatics, STEM, the Arts, athletics, and more! Through our wide variety of
programs, we instill a sense of belonging.
