Boys & Girls Clubs of the Rogue Valley has been serving youth and their families in Jackson and Josephine Counties since 1970 with a mission to provide year-round positive, fun and safe places for all youth, helping them to build self-esteem and develop skills necessary to make right choices, becoming responsible and productive citizens. In 2016, we served 5,164 youth and over 103,500 meals. Our reach goes beyond those attending our after-school and summer youth development programs to include those playing in our Sports Program and attending Weekly Teen Nights, along with the hundreds of family members and caregivers that join us for monthly Family Nights, Strengthening Families sessions and other Club activities open to all community members. Club locations are in Grants Pass, Illinois Valley and Talent. Boys & Girls Clubs of the Rogue Valley is at the forefront of youth development, working with young people (grades K-12) from disadvantaged economic, social, and family circumstances who are actively seeking to enrich their lives through structured programs in a safe, positive environment. Youth Development Programs are fun in five core areas: Education & Career Development; Character & Leadership Development; Sports, Fitness & Recreation; Health & Life Skills and the Arts.
