Boys & Girls Club of Michigan City

In every community, boys and girls are left to find their own recreation and companionship in the streets. An increasing number of children are at home with no adult care or supervision. Young people need to know that someone cares about them.

Boys & Girls Clubs offer that and more. Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence.

Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow – all while having fun. They are truly The Positive Place For Kids.

Our mission....

to provide a place where youth of all backgrounds, especially those who need us most, have pride of ownership in a fun and safe environment as they develop the qualities needed to become responsible citizens and future leaders.

Our Vision...

The vision of the Club is to be the premier comprehensive youth-serving agency of LaPorte County and to be recognized as an expert youth organization that produces community-service and goal-oriented youth and responsible citizens.

In order to accomplish our mission, we need your support in many ways. Your financial contribution will help us to achieve our mission while making Michigan City a better and safer place to live. Together we can make it happen. Thank you for your gift to the Boys & Girls Club of Michigan City!
