Character & Leadership Development
Developing 21st Century Leaders
Our Mission
To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
Great Futures
It's about caring professionals teaching life lessons, a fun and safe place where kids and teens can imagine and realize their potential, and about moments that matter. It's about a place to become.
Our Impact
Strategies and practices that the BGCKV and all Clubs use to promote the positive, healthy development of youth.
2024 Youth of the Year
Why the Boys & Girls Clubs of Kennebec Valley are so important to Yana:
2023 Youth of the Year & Maine State Youth of the Year
Why the Boys & Girls Clubs of Kennebec Valley are so important to Dillon:
"We all need a home and we all need a family. To me, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Kennebec Valley is all about filling these needs that so many people take for granted. It's all about family, growth, lineage, and change. It's the place everyone needs, regardless of many different situations."
"Perhaps the biggest thing that sets my Club apart from others is that my Club opens its doors to Club kids when they are only 8 weeks of age and many of these kids stay in the building until they graduate from High School.. For me, I have been part of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Kennebec Valley's programming for over 12 years, This kind of longevity is life-changing."
"Finally, being part of a Boys & Girls Club family makes you become invested in wanting to be part of the lineage of people that make a difference."
