What are Boys & Girls Clubs all about?Boys & Girls Clubs of America is a national, nonprofit organization which provides programs and services to promote and enhance the development of youth by installing a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence. At the Boys & Girls Club of Benton County, we never take a single approach to help kids succeed. It takes caring mentors, such as our trained Club staff. It takes a safe place, like our Clubs that are consistently there for the kids they serve. It takes innovative, quality programs designed to empower youth to excel in school and lead healthy, productive lives. We do whatever it takes to ensure all kids have a great future.

What does it cost to become a Club member?For our school year program, we charge a one-time membership fee of $60 and then it costs $120 a month. For our summer program, we charge a one-time membership fee of $20 and then it costs $70 a week. *Additional fees may apply for participation in specific programs, such as field trips during our summer program and organized athletics.

How are donations used?Donations create opportunity: → Opportunity for parents to access high-quality, low-cost out of school care, → Opportunity in the form of scholarships for families who need additional support While we do charge an affordable rate for our programs, on average, it costs us about $2,000 per year to serve one child. We rely on donations to fill that funding gap and to keep our services affordable for the over 6,000 youth we serve each year. For children and teens from families in need, we often give financial aid to cover the program fees. [ Donate Today! ]
