This week Boys and Girls Clubs around the country lost a true friend in General Colin Powell. He was a great advocate not only for Boys and Girls Clubs but youth throughout the country. His words in the following video are as true today as they were when he spoke them. He will be missed. Please take a moment to listen. ![]()

Working with youth today means a brighter future for everyone.![]()
When you volunteer at a Boys & Girls Club, you can make a difference in the lives of youth and give back to your community. Within the first few minutes of walking into a Club, you know you’re in a special place. Filled with the sounds and energy of spirited children and friendly, caring professionals, the Club is a fun and hopeful environment. Whether you help with homework, coach a game, or teach an art project, you’ll have the opportunity to build healthy relationships with young people eager for adult guidance, and have a positive impact on their lives. In turn, you will find that spending time with these young people has a positive impact on you as well.![]()
