Our mission...

The mission of Boys & Girls Clubs of Hawaii is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. The after-school hours have become a critical time for youth –a time when many children in our communities are left to fend for themselves without positive adult supervision. We provide a safe place filled with hope and opportunity, ongoing relationships with caring adult mentors, and enriching programs.

Join us for a tour!

Please join us for a tour of a Boys & Girls Club and see firsthand how the Clubs help young people set their minds to success in school – and in life. We invite you and those you know to visit our facilities. You will have a chance to see our enriching programs in action, learn about how the Clubs support the whole child, or find out ways to get involved.

Grab a friend or some colleagues and come see what it’s like at a Boys & Girls Club!
