Mission, Vision, & Strategy

Our Mission

To enhance the character of youth through recreation, education, and positive community experiences in partnership with the Grand Rapids Police Department.

Our Vision

That every child, regardless of risk or need, may be provided with opportunities that allow him or her to compete and excel in all areas of life.

Our Strategy

Boys & Girls Clubs subscribe to the theory that programs should provide youth with a Sense of Belonging, a Sense of Usefulness, a Sense of Competence, and a Sense of Power or Influence. When this has been established, the self-esteem of youth will be enhanced.
