Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota and DeSoto Counties
BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF SARASOTA AND DESOTO COUNTIES IS A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED LEADER IN YOUTH DEVELOPMENT, offering enriching out-of-school and summer programs for thousands of kids and teens, ages 6 to 18. For more than 50 years, the organization has empowered young people to reach their full potential through high-quality youth development programs that foster academic success, leadership, healthy lifestyles, and career exploration.
FOR KIDS AGES 6-12, the organization’s award-winning Great Futures Academy provides intensive instruction in key subjects like Reading, Math, and Science to help them achieve grade-level benchmarks and on-time grade advancement during the school year and avoid learning loss during the summer. The program also provides Club members with homework help, tutoring, educational activities, and project-based learning. TEENS AGES 13-18 can access nationally recognized programs at The Club, including opportunities to build their own businesses, serve as a voting member of a local board, and intern with an area business. Through leadership development, career preparation, volunteerism, and entrepreneurship, they build essential life skills, amplify their voices, and turn their passions into action—advocating for the causes they believe in.
TOGETHER, WE CAN HELP CLUB MEMBERS UNLOCK THEIR FULL POTENTIAL, foster meaningful change, and shape the future they envision. WE INVITE YOU TO EXPERIENCE THE IMPACT FIRST-HAND.
Join us for a private tour of one of our six Clubs to witness the mission in action and see how you can empower tomorrow’s leaders by investing in great futures today.
