The Boys & Girls Club of Stamford (the Club) has provided after school activities and youth development services to the youth of Stamford, CT since 1927. The mission of the Club is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to realize their potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens . Located in the West Side, census track 214, the Club serves close to 1,000 youth a year, ages 6-18. Collaborative efforts have provided opportunities for children to attend other programs, such as the Child Care Learning Center, Head Start Program, The Den Mentoring Program, and S.T.A.M.P. (Stamford Mentoring Program).
Programs are offered in five Core Program Areas: Education and Career Development, Character and Leadership Development, Health and Life Skills, The Arts, and Sports, Fitness and Recreation. Within these core areas members are exposed to academic and recreational activities such as homework assistance, tutoring, arts and crafts, music, technology, games, and team sports. Our programming assists in the effective provision of services that can ultimately help combat poverty and the lack of opportunities, not only for our members but for those living in their households as well.
The Boys & Girls Club has many committed partners who have supported and continue to support the many program offerings that are made available. These include, but are not limited to United Way, the William H. Pitt Foundation, First County Bank Foundation, Bank of America, The Coca Cola Company, Unilever, Thomson Corporation, and the City of Stamford.
