OUR MISSION
To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as PRODUCTIVE, CARING, RESPONSIBLE citizens.
OUR VISION
At Boys & Girls Clubs of Toledo, we have a bold vision: Success is within the reach of every child. We believe every child deserves a safe place to learn and grow; ongoing relationships with caring adult professionals; life-enhancing programs, character development experiences, and hope and opportunity for the future.
Four key characteristics define the essence of a Boys & Girls Club. All are critical in exerting a positive impact on the life of a child:
Dedicated Youth Facility: The Boys & Girls Club is a place designed for youth programs and activities.
Open Daily: The Club is open Monday through Friday, after school and in the summer, when children need positive, productive outlets.
Professional Staff: Every Club has full and part-time staff who are trained in youth development. Volunteers also provide key supplementary support.
Available and Affordable to All Youth: Membership dues are affordable and the Clubs reach out to children who may be without access to other community programs.
