The Club - Teen Center Raleigh, NC

Four key characteristics define the essence of a Boys & Girls Club:

1. Dedicated youth facility
A Boys & Girls Club is a place—an actual neighborhood-based building— designed solely for youth development purposes.

2. Open daily
The Club is open after every school day and on Saturdays, when kids have free time and need positive, productive outlets.

3. Professional staff
Every Club has full-time, trained youth development professionals— providing role models and mentors. Part-time staff and volunteers provide key supplementary support.

4. Available and affordable to all youth
Clubs reach out to kids who cannot afford, or may lack access to, other community programs. Membership fees are low, only $7.50 per year to join.
