WHO WE ARE

Mission Statement

The Association’s mission is to deepen the impact and mission of Boys & Girls Clubs in communities across Washington through communication, resource development, and collaboration.

Mission of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America

The mission of our Clubs is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible, caring citizens.

What is the Washington State Association?

The Association is a collaboration of 18 independent member organizations located in Washington.  Each of these 18 Club organizations has their own board of directors, operating budget, and staffing to provide the programs of Boys & Girls Clubs of America in their respective communities.  The Association provides a unified voice for all Clubs in Washington, as well as brand consistency and a fellowship-partnership among the members. Altogether we serve 49,430 Club members in 158 Club sites, as well as 26,222 youth through sports and outreach programs.

The Association was formed in 2006 to accomplish the following goals:

1. Increase financial support for Washington Clubs.
2. Organize statewide programs and grants.
3. Increase the awareness of the work of Washington Clubs.
