Our mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens. For almost seventy years, Boys & Girls Clubs of Northern Rhode Island has served the youth of Cumberland, Lincoln, and Woonsocket by providing a safe haven for them before and after school. Today, thousands of kids are members at our two Clubhouses, where they can explore their passions, develop critical life skills, and forge lifelong friendships. We empower the youth of our community and shape them into confident, resilient individuals. We never take a single approach to help kids succeed. It takes caring mentors, such as our trained Club staff. It takes a safe place, like our Clubhouses that are consistently there for the kids they serve. It takes innovative, quality programs (from educational support to sports and arts) to empower youth to excel in school and lead healthy, productive lives.
