Description:
About the Boys and Girls Clubs of Weber-Davis:
For eight years, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Weber-Davis have been providing quality youth programs to neighborhoods that have a greater need for community involvement. The seven locations in the Weber and Davis County area served more than 15275 youth last year. Over 600 volunteers helped the clubs achieve their goals.
Over the past 100 years, The Boys & Girls Club of America has developed effective after-school and summer programs for youth between the ages of 6 and 18. Boys & Girls Clubs endorse five core program areas to support healthy development in youth: Character/Leadership Development, Education/Career Development, Health/Life Skills, Sports/Recreation/Fitness, and The Arts.
Our national organization provides the oversight, curriculum, programming, and commitment to quality to ensure that all youth are provided the tools necessary to make the right choices and overcome the pressures in their lives to choose gangs and criminal or antisocial behavior.

Who We Are
What are Boys and Girls Clubs?
Clubs are community-based organizations that provide young people with a fun, safe and constructive environment when they are not at home or school. Clubs offer programs and services designed to build character and strengthen life skills.
Who do Clubs serve?
Boys & Girls Clubs are open to all youth ages 6-18 and have a special focus on children and teens from challenging or disadvantaged circumstances. Clubs reach out to children in need, giving them support, guidance and hope for the future. Clubs also keep dues low and do not turn kids away because of an inability to pay.
What makes clubs unique?
Neighborhood-centered, Clubs provide programming in specialized areas, including character development, educational enhancement and career exploration. Clubs are staffed by paid, trained youth development professionals. Through a system of informal guidance, Club staff form strong bonds with young people and help them make smart choices in life. For many Club members, Club staff are the most influential positive adult role models in their lives.
Why are Boys & Girls Clubs important?
The Boys & Girls Club movement upholds the national interest. Today’s boys and girls will become the mainstay of America’s economy; by aiding in their positive development, all of society benefits.
For all of these reasons and more, Boys & Girls Clubs are truly “The Positive Place for Kids.”
