Agents of positive change
With safe places to learn & play, positive role models, & educational programming, Boys & Girls Clubs of Rutland County has helped local kids thrive since 1996.
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, yet young people need to know that someone cares about them.
The Boys & Girls Club offers this and more. The Club’s programs and services promote and enhance the development of children 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.
