Boys & Girls Club of Trenton & Mercer County
Center in Trenton, NJ 08611
The Boys & Girls Club holds after-school programs for youth in grades K to 8 every day at our Clubhouse and in 11 public schools. Research shows that this time of day is when kids are most vulnerable to the influence of gangs, violence, and other risky behaviors. We keep youth safe and off the streets, and we give them dynamic opportunities to shape their future.
Our nationally-recognized, evidence-based initiatives impact children in three essential ways: academic success, character and citizenship, and healthy lifestyles. A youth development strategy that includes sports and games underlies all of our programs and fosters a sense of belonging, competence, and usefulness.
