Boys & Girls Clubs - Colorado Alliance

Welcome to the Boys & Girls Clubs - Colorado Alliance. We represent 16 separate organizations that serve 37 communities with 42 individual sites.

These Clubs provide safe, positive centers staffed with youth development professionals, who mentor and teach the youth they serve. Kids spend time at the Boys & Girls Clubs when they are not in school.

At the Clubs, members are involved in educational and fun youth-development programs that give each child a sense of competence, power to influence decisions, usefulness and belonging - all qualities that will help them make the most of their lives and become the leaders of today and tomorrow.

Young people think of their Club not as a building or a program but as a sanctuary: a home away from home. It is one of the few places they can go in life where they feel truly welcomed, cared for, safe, accepted, and included. It is a place where they willingly receive and openly seek guidance from adults who care.
