Boys & Girls Club of Jefferson City

Mission: To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens. At the Boys & Girls Club, we believe in order for a child to reach their potential they must have academic success, lead a healthy lifestyle and develop good character & citizenship.

In May 2017, the new Boys & Girls Club Railton Center opened its doors. The Club is open year-round serving close to 1,000 children per year. When the children arrive, they enjoy an after school snack before moving into homework/reading time where children read for 20 minutes every day, receive help with homework and tutoring if needed. After homework time, children enjoy a multitude of activities including STEM, art, physical fitness, music, dance and more! Children also receive a hot, nutritious dinner before going home. It’s important our Club kids NEVER go to bed hungry. And what does this service cost a low income family? Only $25/semester because money should never be a barrier for a child who needs us most!

Providing safe place for kids to come after school and during the summer. For ages 5-18. Provide a hot meal every day, help with homework, mentoring, clubs, and tutoring. 2 locations in Jefferson City and 1 in Holts Summit.

In order to be successful, we ensure our programs are SAFE and FUN with SUPPORTIVE RELATIONSHIPS. We provide OPPORTUNITIES and EXPECTATIONS with lots of RECOGNITION.
