An investment in the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Mississippi will have an immediate and significant impact in the lives of disadvantaged children in our community.

Help & Participate

We need your help

We operate four Boys & Girls Clubs in the Jackson, MS area and a camp facility near Hazlehurst, MS. As you can imagine, our expenses are high. Some of these expenses include:

  • Nutritional snacks for thousands of kids on a daily basis
  • Books and educational materials
  • Computers
  • Art supplies
  • Sports equipment
  • Insurance
  • Staff salaries
  • 7 facilities to maintain
  • Transportation and fuel
  • Much, much more

We have thousands of kids who depend on us. For more than 75 years, we have been helping at-risk children become successful adults through our broad spectrum of programs. Our members desperately need a safe place to come after school and during the summer while their parents are at work.

We’re open 240 days per year, including from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. in the summer. We charge members only $25 per year, but it costs us about $500 per year to provide services to one member.
