Investing in Our Future

The Boys & Girls Club of Boone County is more than just an after-school program! It’s a lifeline for nearly 20% of our county’s youth, with over 425 kids walking through its doors every day, and more than 3,000 served annually across Lebanon, Whitestown, and Zionsville!

The Boys & Girls Club of Boone County has long been a cornerstone of our community. With three club locations in Lebanon, Whitestown, and Zionsville, the organization serves more than 3,000 kids each year through after-school programs, summer camps, and athletic leagues. All while providing a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment. 
Their mission is simple yet powerful: to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as caring, productive, and responsible citizens. From homework help and mentoring to healthy meals and fitness activities, the Club is giving kids the tools they need to succeed both inside and outside of the classroom.
“With the rapid growth across our county and the increasing need for affordable care for families, our Clubs are more important than ever. Continued community support ensures we can provide every child with the opportunities, guidance, and encouragement they need to thrive,” said Board Member, Shannon Ross.
The Boys & Girls Club is a place where lifelong friendships are made, leadership is grown, and character is built. Their academic, after school and sports programs emphasize responsibility, kindness, and community engagement. It strengthens Boone County as a whole. The programs offered by BGCBC include: 
  • Before and After School Care
    • Power Hour for help with homework
    • Arts & Crafts
    • Cooking Club
    • Game Room
    • Gymnasium
  • Summer day camps and specialty camps as Caring Hands and Bike and Adventure
  • Basketball and Volleyball leagues
None of this would be possible without the dedication of staff, volunteers, and supporters who believe in investing in the next generation. Whether through donations, volunteering, or cheering on a youth basketball game, there are countless ways you to get involved.
