In every community, boys and girls are left to find their own recreation and companionship in the streets. An increasing number of children are at home with no adult care or supervision during the most critical after school hours or during the summer. Young people need a safe place of their own where they can have fun. The 

Boys & Girls Clubs of the Columbia Basin offer that and more. Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence. Because the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Columbia Basin are affordable to all youth, we rely on the community for funding. Our Clubs are funded by individual and corporate donations, special events, and grants. What's more important than ensuring our youth are safe and learning positive values? The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Columbia Basin are changing kids’ lives, but we need your help to ensure our community's youth continue to grow and prosper. The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Columbia Basin are a safe place to learn and grow – all while having fun. It is truly The Positive Place For Kids.

To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
