Our Mission
To inspire and enable young people
of all backgrounds to realize their full potential as productive,
responsible and caring citizens.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Rochester provide youth development
programs that enable young people to acquire the skills and qualities
needed to become responsible citizens and leaders.
Empowered with these positive developmental
experiences and opportunities, Boys & Girls Club members have
continually demonstrated their ability to overcome negative,
failure-oriented environments and move toward fulfilling their dreams.
Since its inception, the Boys & Girls Club
Movement has provided mentoring and leadership specifically designed to
change the lives of youth who face daily challenges such as poverty,
broken homes, crime, unemployment, prejudice and difficulties in school.
The
greatest challenge has been to encourage young people to scale the wall of hopelessness facing
those in disadvantaged circumstances.
