Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Boys & Girls Clubs of Lanier is working to address the thousands of youth in the Lanier area that are unsafe and unsupervised after school and during the summer. These children go without any guidance during out-of-school hours, which are crucial to their academic success, character, and health. Under-served youth in the Lanier area struggle to succeed academically, have a greater chance of being overweight or obese, and are more likely to enter into the Juvenile Justice system.

With 15 Club sites spanning Hall and Forsyth Counties, currently serving over 1,000 youth each day, BGCL is providing a safe and supervised place for kids to go during out-of-school time.
From our senior leadership team with over 95 years of combined experience in non-profits to our Youth Development Professionals who undergo vigorous training to provide the most effective programs, BGCL has the capability to meet our overarching goal.
BGCL is led by a Board of Directors composed of 30 diverse community members who are successful in a wide array of industries and organizations.
