For 76 years, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Fresno County has been serving youth and their families throughout Fresno County, creating deep roots in this community. Starting in a small surplus building in West Fresno, the Boys’ Club of Fresno opened its doors for the first time. That small space served the needs of young boys for over 10 years until a new facility was dedicated at 930 Tulare Street. Year after year, because of generous donors and community members, more Clubs were established. We now have 14 Clubhouses in urban and rural areas.
Each year has brought its own challenges and opportunities, but our committed board of directors, and caring staff are relentless in providing safe places for youth to learn and grow. At Boys & Girls Clubs, we do Whatever It Takes for kids, teens, and their families.
To us, a safe place isn’t just a building— it’s a community of people that demonstrate our core values;
We will enable young people to achieve positive outcomes in four areas:
-
We will deliver high-quality practices and intentional learning experiences to every member, every day, building skills and providing experiences that lead to positive outcomes.
-
We will leverage data and technology as strategic advantages in every aspect of our business.
-
We will influence public opinion and action to elevate the youth development sector.
-
We will attract, retain and develop diverse, transformational leaders at all levels.
-
We will demonstrate strong financial health, sound governance and sustainable business practices that promote growth and innovation.
