Boys & Girls Club of Greater New Bedford
About Our Club
“Enabling all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.”
Filling a Critical Need
Trained professional staff provide positive adult mentors and role models. Nationally recognized programs help young people succeed in school, stay healthy, learn important life skills, pursue interests in the arts and sports and explore vocational choices.
Most importantly, the Boys & Girls Club shows members that someone cares, wants them to realize their full potential and to BE GREAT!
