Our Impact

The Need

Every day, 109,150 kids in Connecticut leave school with nowhere to go.
Without safe, supportive spaces, too many are left unsupervised and at risk.

The Return on Investment

Every $1 invested in Boys & Girls Clubs in Connecticut returns $10.32 in future earnings and cost savings for communities across the state.

Our 2025 Impact

  • 58 Boys & Girls Club sites statewide
  • 32,870 youth served each year
  • 1,019 adult staff and 931 volunteers supporting Club kids

The Solution

Boys & Girls Clubs fill the gap between school and home—statewide. Clubs provide safe, welcoming environments where kids and teens learn, grow, build confidence, and form lasting relationships with caring adults.
