HISTORY
The Wareham Boys & Girls Club recently joined the Boys & Girls Club of America and merged with the New Bedford organization. Membership in the national organization allows the previously independent Wareham Club to expand its offerings. To join the national organization the Wareham Club was required to become an affiliate of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater New Bedford.
 
This move has helped the Wareham Unit to expand its hours, add new programs and bring children together from the New Bedford and Wareham programs.
 
MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to foster an environment rich in diversity, strong in positive self-esteem building activities, nurturing a sage, as well as to teach by example and action, ways to grow up and be positive, productive members of society.
 
DESCRIPTION
Our main focus at this time is on our three main programs, the after school, summer and computer programs. We care for children ages 7 - 13.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
A MESSAGE FROM UNIT DIRECTOR
MS. BARBARA M. SULLIVAN
Since obtainng our charter from the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and our merger with the Boys & Girls Club of Greater New Bedford, we have begun the implementation of new programs and changes which will benefit the children we serve.
 
The values I hoped to instill in Club members when I joined the organization in 2005, are wonderfully summed up by the expectations and goals the Boys & Girls Club of America has for the young people it services. These expectations and goals are:
  • Positive Self-Identity
  • Educational, Employment, Social, Emotional and Cultural Competencies
  • Community Involvement
  • Health and Well Being
  • Moral Compass
We are fortunate to be part of the National organization which not only sets goals and expectations, but provides the means of attaining these goals and expectations. This knowledge and progams will greatly benefit Wareham youth.
