Boys & Girls Clubs Of Central Iowa

OUR MISSION: To inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.

OUR VISION: Provide a world-class Club Experience that assures success is within reach of every young person who walks through our doors, with all members on track to graduate from high school with a plan for the future, demonstrating good character and citizenship, and living a healthy lifestyle.

OUR VALUES
RESPECT: We ensure that everyone—children, youth, families, volunteers, staff —is heard, valued, and treated fairly.
INTEGRITY: We are authentic, honest, and transparent; we strive to do what’s right every day, for every child and teen.
COMPASSION: We have empathy and understand the challenges facing young people. We are compelled to do whatever it takes to reduce those challenges.
EXCELLENCE: We excel in providing quality programs, rigorously measured impact, and work to continuously improve ourselves and our organization; we are innovative.
SAFETY: We are committed at all levels of our organization to provide a safe and supportive place for our Club members. Through regular training and commitment from staff and volunteers, safety is and always will be our number one priority.

When school is out, our eight Club sites are in. We provide high-quality programs in a safe environment, with caring staff and volunteers dedicated to serving as positive role models. Our Club members can overcome barriers to success because we are willing to do whatever it takes to help them achieve great futures. ​

We ensure that every child who walks through our Club doors has their basic needs met. By collaborating with families, schools, and partners in the community, Clubs provide children a safe space, an environment to learn and grow, and meals.
