Helping Youth Learn and Grow
For 30 years, Boys & Girls Clubs of Oklahoma County have been there for children and youth when they need us most – after school and out-of-school time. Membership at our clubs are open to all children and youth ages 5-18, and our Club members have access to high quality programming that has the power to positively shape and change their lives.
All Boys & Girls Club programs incorporate a youth development approach that fosters a sense of belonging, competence, usefulness and influence among young people. Our centers help youth develop self-confidence and self-esteem.
Memberships
Boys & Girls Clubs of Oklahoma County serve members aged kindergarten through 12th grade* in Clubs across Oklahoma County. Our after-school and summer programs are led by trained and dedicated staff that are committed to seeing members succeed in every possible area of their lives. Boys & Girls Clubs are not licensed day cares, but rather a youth center where members can come and go. If you are interested in your child becoming a member, please fill out an application at the link below.

BGCOKC’S CORE PROGRAMS
Academic Success
Every person has strengths and gaps when it comes to learning
It’s our job to help kids figure out where their greatest potential lies. Whether through tutoring and homework help, access to technology, college- and career-readiness programs or skills development, Clubs have an outstanding track record of helping young people make academic strides. The success of our centers can be seen by the achievements of our youth, as we guide them along the road to high school graduation, with a solid plan for the future.
- 100% of our teen Club members expect to graduate from high school
- 88% expect to complete some kind of post-secondary education
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.
