About v2
Boys & Girls Clubs of Oklahoma County
EVERY KID DESERVES A PLACE. A place to feel safe. A place to feel connected. A place to belong.
We provide Clubs where kids can go after school and during out-of-school time to grow beyond the classroom. Since our doors opened over 30 years ago in 1995, we have grown from one Club to over 16 Club locations serving 1,500 each day and over 18,000 each year.
Our Mission
To inspire and enable all young people—especially those who need us most—to become productive, caring, and responsible young people.
Our Vision
Our vision is to provide a world-class Club Experience that assures success is within reach of every young person who enters our doors, with all members on track to graduate from high school with a plan for the future, demonstrating good character and leadership, and living a healthy lifestyle.
Our Impact
Boys & Girls Clubs of Oklahoma County are having a real, positive impact on the lives of kids and youth. Providing a Club Experience at one of our Clubs means we meet the youth where they are and understand what they need to grow and succeed. We emphasize four key outcome areas: Academic Success, Health & Wellness, Character & Leadership, and Life & Workforce Readiness.
No matter why they enter a Club, youth leave with the knowledge that the Club Experience provides a fun, safe space and a fostering environment where they can be who they are – and become who they were meant to be.

Character & Leadership
Productive, Caring, Responsible Citizens
As youth are taught to be productive, caring, responsible citizens through high-quality programs and staff who model good behavior, they are more likely to carry these values with them when they leave the Club. In addition to fostering accountability, our youth centers also help young people develop leadership skills, a sense of civic duty and an understanding of the value of giving back to their community.- Over 77% of Club teen members volunteer at least once per year
- 56% volunteer in their community at least once per month
Healthy Lifestyles
Social, Emotional, and Physical Wellness
In the most important hours between when school gets out and dinner is served, we have an obligation to make sure the youth who spend this time at one of our youth centers are achieving social, emotional, and physical wellness. From building self-esteem and confidence to providing healthy snacks and activities, Clubs offer a breadth of ways that kids can develop healthy habits for life.
- 53% of Club members ages 9 and older report getting at least an hour of physical activity on five or more days per week
Life & Workforce Readiness
Set Goals, Solve Problems, and Navigate Real-World Challenges
As youth build the skills they need to succeed in school, work, and life, they gain the confidence to pursue meaningful futures beyond the Club doors. Through hands-on experiences, supportive mentoring, and programs that encourage curiosity and persistence, young people learn how to set goals, solve problems, and navigate real-world challenges. Our focus on career exploration and life skills helps members step forward with purpose, prepared to enter the workforce as capable, motivated, and resilient young adults.
