The Boys & Girls Clubs of Springfield provides educational, recreational and social activities for at-risk youth ages 6-18.

The Learning Centers enable program staff and volunteers to assist members with homework, computer and keyboarding skills, and provide overall academic support.

The Club believes that many of our youth would succeed in school if they simply had a “caring human presence.” We know that many of the parents of our youth do not feel equipped to help their children with their homework because they themselves were poor students. Our families are often struggling just to stay a float – and will soon feel the effects of Welfare-to-Work reforms. We believe that every child deserves an “equal opportunity” in life. Besides having basic needs met, youth need the encouragement and support of caring role models. A large number of members live in single parent homes and are not exposed to good role models. With a mentor taking an active role in our members’ lives, we believe that youth will start to respond to this positive reinforcement by becoming more invested in their education.
