Who We Are

We never take a single approach to help kids succeed.  It takes caring mentors, such as our trained Club staff.  It takes a safe place, like our Clubs that are consistently there for the kids they serve.  It takes innovative, quality programs designed to empower youth to excel in school and lead healthy, productive lives.  We do whatever it takes to ensure all kids have a great future.

Imagine a place where who you are, where you’re from, or the circumstances that surround you don’t determine your access to experiences or opportunities.  Through your support, Boys & Girls Club of Gadsden / Etowah County is making that vision a reality – in our community and communities around the world.

Our Mission

To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring responsible citizens

Our Vision

Provide a world-class Club Experience that assures success is within reach of every young person who enters our doors, with all members on track to graduate from high school with a plan for the future, demonstrating good character and citizenship, and living a healthy lifestyle.

Our Commitment to Inclusion

We believe that every kid has what it takes.  The mission and core beliefs of Boys & Girls Clubs fuel our commitment to promoting safe, positive, and inclusive environments for all.  Boys & Girls Club of Gadsden / Etowah County supports all youth and teens – of every race, ethnicity, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, ability, socio-economic status, and religion – in reaching their full potential.
