North Shore Boys & Girls Club
Formed in 1996 by a group of concerned parents and business owners who wanted to provide our youth with an environment and place where our children and teens could congregate and be themselves. The organization serves over 2,100 children from kindergarten through high school in the North Shore School District and neighboring communities. Services provided include the “Beyond the Bell” after school program, a Friday evening program called the Canteen; live band shows known as the Rock Lobster, an Artist Café, a seven week summer sports and recreation program.
The North Shore Youth Council has recently announced publicly that it has been granted membership into the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and will now be known as the North Shore Boys & Girls Club. This is a momentous event for our organization and our community. Our mission remains to strengthen the community support system by inspiring and empowering our young people. Our goal is to aid youth in realizing their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens. By striving for excellence in every aspect of our operations and outreach we can continue to be proud of who we are as an organization.
Membership into the National Boys & Girls Clubs of America will provide us not only with technical assistance, but it will allow us to tap into years of experience in providing educational and recreational programs for our youth. The National Organization has a lineup of tested and renowned programs that address today's most pressing youth issues, teaching young people the skills they need to succeed in life. More than 25 national programs are available in the areas of Character & Leadership, Education & Career, Health & Life Skills, the Arts, Sports, and Fitness & Recreation. These programs and services promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence.
