About The Boys & Girls Clubs of Bloomington

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Bloomington is a youth development organization that provides educational and enriching out-of-school programming to as many as 450 local youth, ages 6-18, that attend the Clubs daily. BGCB served a total of 2,690 youth in 2016. Many of the youth who attend the Club, and who most benefit from our services, come from low-income families. 98 percent of our Crestmont youth come from low to extremely low-income income families and 63 percent come from single-parent households. In order to ensure that all youth in need of services receive them, we maintain a low annual membership fee of $20 ($5 for Crestmont youth). Each youth member receives safe transportation to the Club (Crestmont Members can receive rides home at the end of the program day), a daily snack, access to tutoring services, extracurricular programming, mentoring, and guidance from professionally trained staff and caring volunteers.
