Boys & Girls Club of America is a national organization that serves Independent, or Local Boys & Girls Clubs. Each Boys & Girls club controls its own affairs and is not considered to be of any liability to the national Boys & Girls Clubs of America; It is a separate legal entity and governed by independent board of directors, executive committee or other governing body and is solely responsible for its own affairs, including but not limited to matters of safety; compliance with federal, state, and local laws; physical facilities; uses of technology, finances; policies and programs and personnel policies and decisions. Accordingly, each Local Boys & Girls Club controls its own affairs and Boys & Girls Clubs of America does not hold any liability for the actions of Local Boys & Girls Clubs.
Local Boys & Girls Club may offer: Education & Career Programs, Character &, Leadership Programs, Health & Life Skills, The Arts Programs, Sports, Fitness, & Recreation, and Specialized Programs. The Boys and girls club is dedicated to promoting the health, social, educational, vocational and character development of youth throughout the United States of America.
