Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Florida (BGCNF) is part of a nationwide affiliation of local, autonomous organizations that work to help young people of all backgrounds develop the qualities they need to gain skills, experience positive peer influence and improve their academic success. Every weekday, from 2:00 to 7:00 p.m. we offer children ages 5 to 18, access to a broad range of programs in five core areas: (1) Character & Leadership Development; (2) Education & Career Development; (3) Health & Life Skills; (4) The Arts; and (5) Sports, Fitness and Recreation. Our mission is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, to realize their full potential as productive responsible and caring citizens.
