Every parent wants a safe, affordable place to send their kids after school. Our Clubs offer that and much more. When you enroll your child in a Boys & Girls Club, you get peace of mind knowing they are under the guidance of caring, professional staff members. Our youth development experts empower kids and teens to excel in school, become good citizens and lead healthy, productive lives on their paths to great futures.
Every day at the Club, our skilled and caring staff provide the guidance and encouragement that young people need to progress grades annually and graduate from high school with a plan for the future. Club membership is open to all youth between the ages of 6 and 18.
Spots are limited and appointed on a first come first serve basis. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Alexia Thurber at (260)-744-0998 ext. 127 or at athurber@bgcfw.org.
I like theater now after doing a program on stage through the Club! Over all we had a lot of fun going to BGCFW. Today, I am married with two handsome little boys and I work at Bowen Center in Fort Wayne as a Skills Coach!
