WHO WE ARE

Our Clubs are a safe place to learn, grow, and have fun!
Through our blue doors, great futures are started each and every day.

In 2017, The Boys & Girls Club of Jackson celebrated its 50th year of service to the youth of West Tennessee. Due to our deep roots, the Club has demonstrated sustainability over its decades of operation and thousands of children have benefited from services. 

The Boys & Girls Club of Jackson is a non-profit organization that offers after school and summer programs for young people, ages 5-18, in Madison & Haywood County communities. All our programs are age appropriate and are designed to meet the needs of developing youth. 

We are dedicated to promoting the education, vocational and health leadership and character development of boys and girls in a safe and caring environment that is professionally staffed. The Club offers award-winning programs to help youth build self-esteem and values, adopt good study habits, stay in school, respect adults and peers, and resist drugs and violence. We encourage and inspire each child to reach their full potential guiding them on a path to a great future. 

We partner with other non-profit agencies to enhance program services to children. We are funded in part by United Way of West Tennessee, national and local foundations, corporate and individual donations, as well as federal, state and local agencies.
