Mission:
Our mission is “to enable and inspire children and youth, especially those from diverse or difficult circumstances, to reach their full potential as productive, responsible, and healthy members of their community, the State of Rhode Island, and the nation.” For 140 years, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Providence has provided safe and fun environments for children and youth in the neighborhoods where kids live. We provide services through professionally trained full-time and part-time staff. Our Clubs are open afternoons, evenings, and weekends; the times of the day when kids need us most. We ensure affordability for our members who pay $18 a year in dues. We provide programs and activities based upon a nationally recognized youth development strategy.
Vision:
Our vision is “to continue to build a strong, self-sufficient organization, led by the best governing Board available which will hire and retain the best staff to provide critical services that children and youth from diverse or difficult circumstances need in order for them to succeed in a competitive and ever changing world.”
Values:
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Providence believes in self-reliance; commitment to excellence; civility, respect, and compassion; loyalty and integrity; hope and opportunity for all young people; life enhancing programs and character developing experiences; and a safe and clean place to go during non-school hours.
