Since 1943, the Boys & Girls Clubs of King County has provided a wide variety of programs for youth ages of 6-18. Throughout that span of time, we have considered ourselves to be “evolutionary” program providers. With each generation of kids, our focus has always centered on five core program areas: Character & Leadership Development, Education & Career Development, Health & Life Skills, the Arts, and Sports, Fitness and Recreation. Many of our programs have a technology component or focus. Additionally, each individual Club offers localized programs based on the wishes of the local community.  

The heart of every Boys & Girls Club is the drop-in program. For an average membership fee of $1.50 per month ($18 annually), members can visit a Club after school and on weekends and explore new games, develop social skills, get help with homework, take computer education classes, play in the games room, recreate in the gym and on the ball fields, and make new friends with peers and adults. Additional structured programs are available year round (only to members) for a nominal fee.  



Here is a sample of Boys & Girls Clubs programs offered throughout King County:
