Boys & Girls Club Services of Greater Victoria was founded in 1960 and, while locally autonomous, is part of a national and international movement that is over 100 years old. Our funding comes from a variety of sources: the United Way, Federal, Provincial and Municipal Governments, service clubs, national and local businesses, foundations and individuals as well as through special events, memberships and fees for service.

Boys & Girls Club Services has evolved into Victoria’s prime youth-serving organization that is dedicated to providing a continuum of services that promote the development of those assets – experiences, opportunities and internal capacities – that all people need to achieve health and success. In addition to our four community clubs located in Esquimalt, Central Saanich, the Westshore and downtown, we also offer a wide variety of specialized services for specific sectors of “at risk” youth.

Open to all, we are especially cognizant of the multitude of economic and social challenges many children, youth and families face. Boys and Girls Club Services staff show kids and families they care and they are there to help.

We don’t ask if the glass is half full or half empty – we say fill the glass!
