Boys and Girls Clubs of Manatee County

Boys & Girls Clubs of Manatee County is much more than an out of school time and summer program. It is THE positive place for kids to develop lifelong friendships, build character and citizenship, enjoy a healthy and active lifestyle, and achieve academic success. Our keys to success are met by bringing the kids who need us most into an environment where they can have a magical Club experience which then leads towards changing and even saving their lives. Our Clubs are safe, affordable and FUN for all school-age children. While we do not define “those that need us most” by socioeconomic terms (since we strongly believe kids from all backgrounds can utilize and benefit from our programs), we ensure that no children are ever turned away for lack of ability to pay.

As we strive for excellence in all of our Club programs and facilities which currently serve more than 6,000 Manatee County children, we ask for your support to grow and reach even more kids. Our board and staff are committed to making the most impact possible with the resources available to us, and have been working hard to strategically map our growth and outreach efforts for long-term sustainability.

Please join us by taking a tour, getting involved as a volunteer and/or donor, and spreading the word about our Clubs. Great futures start here!
