Our Approach

For the past forty years the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Emerald Coast have passed on a tradition of excellence to the next generation by empowering them to become strong adults, responsible citizens, and community leaders.

Although several Boys & Girls Club alumni have become famous in entertainment, business, politics and sports, Club youth learn that success is not measured by fame or wealth. They are encouraged to achieve success by getting an education, raising a family, serving their country, pursuing their goals, or supporting their community.

We are Empowering Kids to achieve academic success, build good character and lead healthy lifestyles. We also encourage our community to be a part. Because we believe that when you Empower a Kid you change the world.

We encourage our kids to:
Be independent.
Be clever. Be curious.
Be smart. Successful. Incredible. Amazing.
Be inspired. Be an inspiration.
Be more than anyone could ever imagine.
Be a teacher, a doctor, a difference maker, a star.
Be yourself.
Be someone who makes the right choices.
Be happy. Believe. Belong.
BE GREAT.
