About us
Great Futures Start HERE. Our Mission: The mission of Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington is to help boys and girls of all backgrounds, especially those who need us most, build confidence, develop character and acquire the skills needed to become productive, civic-minded, responsible adults. Company Overview: Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington was established in 1886 as the Newsboys and Children's Aid Society . In the early 1900's, the Working Boys Home and Aide Association replaced this organization and enlarged the scope of service to neighborhood boys. With the support of the Rotary Club of Washington, D.C., a board of trustees was established and the name changed to Boys Clubs of Washington. In 1973, Boys Clubs of Washington began serving girls as full and equal members. In July of 1981, Boys Clubs of Washington changed its name to Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington to reflect its new direction. Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington is now one of the largest affiliates of Boys & Girls Clubs of America with 18 Clubs, 1 outreach site, and 3 satellite sites over a 75-mile radius from Frederickburg, Virginia to Germantown, Maryland as well as a residential summer camp in Southern Maryland.

What is our future without intelligent, responsible and engaged youth advocating for a better world? Thankfully, we don't have to answer that. #BGCGW's 2024 Center of Transformation Summit proved to all that youth, particularly youth of color, are more than capable of tackling complex issues like climate change and environmental degradation. Last week, our youth presented projects on energy saving solutions, attended events at the Dept. of Commerce, and spread joy and peace while doing it. Don't you wish you were there? #GreatFuturesStartHere #BGCGW #ClimateChange

BGCGW's BlueFest at the TCMA for Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center was nothing short of magical. From the artful displays of our programming, to the powerful speeches led by our greatest assets, our youth, we were able to show the community why our Clubs are so special, so vital, and always worth supporting. Thank you to everyone who attended! If you see yourself or anyone you know in photos, give a shoutout in the comments. #GreatFuturesStartHere #BGCGW #SupportOurYouth
