The Boys & Girls Club of Troy provides diversified activities that meet the interests of all young people. Core program encourage activities with adults, peers and family members that enable kids to enhance self-esteem and fulfill their potential. Based on the physical, emotional, cultural and social needs and interests of boys and girls, and recognizing developmental principles, the Club offers program activities in five critical areas:

We empower young people to support and influence their community, sustain meaningful relationships, develop a positive self-image, participate in the democratic process and respect their own and others’ cultural identities.

We enable young people to become proficient in basic educational disciplines, apply learning to everyday situations and embrace technology to optimize employability.

We develop young people’s capacity to engage in positive behaviors that nurture their own well-being, set personal goals, and develop the skills to live successfully as self-sufficient, contributing adults.

We promote fitness, positive use of leisure time, skills for stress management, appreciation for the environment, and social and interpersonal skills.

We provide youth with a platform to develop their creativity and cultural awareness through knowledge and appreciation of visual, tactile, and/or performing arts.
