The Boys & Girls Club of Northern Westchester, established in 1939, is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving local youth, ages 6 months to 18 years, from more than 40 Northern Westchester communities.
The Club runs high-quality, developmentally appropriate programs in five core areas:
- Character and Leadership Development
- Education and Career Development
- Health and Life Skills
- Arts and Social Recreation
- Sports, Fitness and Recreation.
These programs are designed to create a rich environment that will lead to academic success, good character and citizenship, and healthy lifestyles.
As staff members at BGCNW, we continually strive to create a sense of belonging for EVERY Club kid that walks through our doors. We believe that by accepting, nurturing, teaching, supporting and challenging our kids, they will be ready to step into the world as productive, caring and responsible citizens.
