Since its inception, Boys & Girls Clubs of San Antonio has remained committed to helping area youth reach their full potential. This commitment has guided us in equipping our youth for success with diverse, innovative afterschool and summer programs that meet their interests and developmental needs.
Over the years, our programs have evolved to meet the changing needs of the community while never wavering from our core belief that every child, regardless of their income level or zip code, should have access to high quality, out-of-school-time programming in a safe and positive environment with adults who care about them.
