WHAT WE DO

We never take a single approach to help kids succeed, it takes:​

Safe Places

  • ​Providing 17 safe and fun Clubhouses for kids to grow and thrive.

    • Life-Enhancing Programs

  • ​Delivering innovative programs designed to empower youth to excel in school and lead healthy, productive lives.

    • Caring Mentors

  • Offering trained staff who guide, coach, and motivate all kids to be successful. 

    • For more than 70 years, we've done whatever it takes to ensure all kids have a great future.

    At Boys & Girls Clubs of Bellevue, we believe great futures are possible for all young people. 

    Every child deserves a place. A place to feel safe. A place to feel connected. A place to belong. Since we first opened our doors more than 70 years ago, Boys & Girls Clubs of Bellevue has been that place for more than 13,000 children and teens annually. Today, in the midst of our evolving world, we provide a caring, inclusive environment that inspires each Club member to develop healthy lifestyles, academic success, leadership skills, and career readiness. Our hope is that every Club member develops the critical thinking, physical, social, emotional, and life skills they need to thrive today and in the future. Most importantly, we provide a place for kids to be kids, where they feel valued and excited to be who they are—and become who they were meant to be—regardless of the circumstances that surround them.

    It’s back-to-school season and we need your help to give our Bellevue kids and teens the Great Futures they deserve. 

    Kids spend 80% of their time outside school. And as a new school year approaches, we're doing whatever it takes to help kids build a great future with programs at our 17 Clubs that include homework help, mentorship, healthy lifestyle decision making, character and leadership development, and career readiness.

    This Great Futures Day we are raising money to make sure our kids get back to school with the programs they need to be successful. This includes: 

    • Program scholarships – no child should miss out because of need.
    • Transportation to our programs 
    • Healthy snacks and meals
    • Mental health counseling

    But we can't do it alone. With your support, we will continue to ensure every child has access to life-changing programs. 

    Let's make this back-to-school season a time of growth, inspiration, and endless possibilities. Together, we can create a brighter future for each and every student in our community.
