The Club's mission to inspire and enable all young people, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, to realize their full potential as productive,responsible and caring citizens. The Boys and Girls Club of Stanton has been a part of the Stanton community for 32 years working with young people from disadvantaged economic, social, and family circumstances. Since 1975, Boys & Girls Club of Stanton has been in the forefront of youth development actively seeking to enrich the lives of girls and boys whom other youth agencies have had difficulty in reaching. Our goal as a Youth Organization is to offer every child in our community quality programs and services that will enhance and shape their lives. We are dedicated to ensuring that our community’s disadvantaged young people have a greater access to quality programs and services. In 2007 we had over 1000 memberships for young people utilizing our services and programs. On an average day 150-200 children are in attendance.
