Our Impact
Clubs work. Here’s proof.
At Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Ohio, we are committed to changing lives. We offer kids positive activities, adult mentors and new opportunities. The families who entrust us with their children know they are in a safe, fun place. It is a nurturing environment that allows kids to grow.
