Our Mission
To inspire all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens.
Our Impact
Each day, hundreds of children and teens attend the Boys & Girls Clubs of Fort Wayne engaged in afterschool programs and services. In 2019, our new Club facility opened to serve even more. BGCFW members participate in impactful programs focused on academic success, character and leadership, and healthy lifestyles.
Our Programs
At the Club, youth can participate in a wide variety of programs that build skills, support educational achievement, develop confidence, encourage new friendships, and build strong, positive relationships with caring adult mentors.
Our Strategic Plan
Four strategic priority areas for Great Futures 2025:
01
Increase Program Quality
To achieve great outcomes for youth and to live our mission, it is critical to achieve a high level of program quality, ensuring we consistently provide relevant, engaging experiences and opportunities for kids and teens.
02
Strengthen Our Organization
Increasing impact and quality requires strong leadership, capacity and capability.
03
Advocate for Youth Development
To tackle the challenges facing youth in our community, we must position ourselves as the premier youth development advocate.
04
Reach More Youth
Once we have achieved success in program quality and organization strength, and established our Club as a premier youth development advocate, we will be positioned for accelerated growth.
“Every day we help kids who need us most at the critical times when they are most at risk. We help with their homework, their leadership skills, their choices, and most importantly, their character.“

President & CEO, and kid at heart
