Boys & Girls Clubs of Puerto Rico was established 48 years ago to fill this need and to provide children and youth a safe, positive and creative place to become leaders who reach their academic, personal and professional goals. We are a nonprofit organization that provides daily after-school service to participants age 6 to 18 through diverse programs that include: Education (tutoring & writing-reading therapies), Character Development and Leadership, Health and Life Skills, Recreation and Sports, Arts, and recently, the Entrepreneurship and Career Development program. Our mission is to provide youth hope for a better future and opportunities to develop to their full potential. We provide the necessary tools to create and/or obtain a satisfactory job that allows them to reach economic security so they can break the generational cycle of poverty. We serve 15,000 children and youth annually in 13 service centers located in San Juan in Las Margaritas, Luis Lloréns Torres and Ernesto Ramos Antonini, Carolina at Torres de Sabana and Villa Carolina; Aguas Buenas; Arecibo in Manuel Zeno Gandía, San Lorenzo, Loíza, Mayagüez at Roosevelt, Isabela, Bayamón and Vieques.

We never take a single approach to help kids succeed. It takes caring mentors, such as our trained Club staff. It takes a safe place, like our Clubs, that are consistently there for kids they serve. It takes innovative, quality programs designed to empower youth to excel in school and lead healthy productive lives. We do whatever it takes to ensure all kids have a great future.
