Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) has a long-standing, mission-driven commitment to Native youth and Tribal communities, operating as the nation’s largest youth service provider for Native youth. The nonprofit Boys and Girls Clubs in Indian Country Inc was created specifically to address the challenges unique to Native communities to ensure all youth, especially those who need us most, fulfill their potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
For more than three decades, Boys & Girls Clubs of America Native Services has partnered with Tribal communities to support and uplift Native youth. Since 1992, the organization has helped establish more than 250 Boys & Girls Clubs serving approximately 104,000 Native youth across 29 states. This work is strengthened by dedicated partners, trustees, the board of governors, and others who share BGCA’s mission.
Our Native Clubs offer safe, nurturing and life enhancing programs, character development experiences and, most of all, hope and opportunities for our Native youth. As the preeminent Native youth serving organization, Boys & Girls Clubs on Native lands have risen to meet the rapidly changing needs of our communities but need your continued support as we continue to create safe places where our Native youth build resilience and thrive.
As Indigenous people and stewards of the next generation of Native youth, we know the depth of our own resiliency as well as our interconnectedness during trying times. We hope that you consider investing in Native youth not only for our future but for our right now. Your financial support helps more Native Clubs tap into that resiliency as we revitalize and sustain our crucial programming in ways that prioritize the safety and sovereignty needs of our communities but also with a plan to sustain and maintain the tremendous impact on the lives of our Native youth. With your help, we can continue to offer services now and, in the future, to keep Native youth learning, growing and building the Great Futures they deserve.
