About US
Enabling All Young People
We believe, every young person, regardless of who they are, where they come from, or the circumstances surrounding them, should have equal access to opportunities and experiences that provide them with every chance in life. Yet, kids today do not. With 1 in 6 children living in poverty in the U.S. and a growing achievement gap, it is even more critical now that monumental change occurs. Quality after-school programs, such as Boys & Girls Clubs, provide all young people with access to opportunities, thereby leveling the playing field among children regardless of their economic status, race, gender, sexuality, or religion.

How We Help
Boys & Girls Club of Highlands County provides after-school and summer programs for hundreds of area youth ages 6-12 and teenagers through grade 12, at our two Club locations. Programs are designed to help youth excel in school, become leaders, live healthy lifestyles, and create plans for success after high school graduation.
Our Clubs are proud to provide youth with opportunities for Academic Enrichment, including tutoring services to help students, particularly those attending low-performing schools, to meet state academic standards in core academic subjects, such as reading, mathematics, and science.
Our Programs
Developing Globally Competitive Graduates
Our programs are designed to ensure that all Club members graduate from high school on time, ready for a post-secondary education and a 21st-century career.
Developing 21st Century Leaders
These programs help youth become responsible, caring citizens and acquire skills to participate the democratic process. Program participants also develop leadership skills and gain opportunities for planning, decision-making, contributing to Club and community and celebrating our national heritage.
Developing a Healthier Generation
These Club programs help develop young people's capacity to engage in positive behaviors to nurture their well-being, set personal goals and grow into self-sufficient adults. They're designed to develop physical fitness, reduce stress and promote a positive use of leisure time, appreciation for the environment and interpersonal skills.
