At Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford,
GREAT FUTURES START HERE! 

For 165 years, Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford has been putting young people on the path to a great future and enabling them to reach their full potential. We're proud to be the birthplace of the Boys & Girls Club movement and remain true to the four Hartford women who founded the organization in 1860 to give youth a safe place after school where they learn life-shaping skills. 

We close the gap between school and home, giving kids and teens a place where they feel safe and supported, while providing programs in four key pillar areas: Academic Success, Character & Leadership, Health & Wellness and Life & Workforce Readiness. 

And, we'll do WHATEVER IT TAKES to create GREAT FUTURES! 

The Impact of Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford

Between our Early Learning Center and Club programming we serve thousands of youth, ages 3 to 18, every year. We turn no child away, charging a $10 annual membership for access to after school programming, snacks and meals. 

As champions for all youth, Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford is doing whatever it takes to ensure Connecticut's next generation can reach their full potential. We're committed to building a future workforce, creating opportunity for all, supporting mental and physical health and wellbeing, mentoring tomorrow's leaders and elevating the next generation. 

We're also making an impact for the community we call home. 

With your help we can ensure that every Hartford area child has access to the safety, enrichment, strong role models, academic support, inspiration they need to build a Great Future!
