MissionWe are for boys and girls.  Being a member of the Boys & Girls Club satisfies the age-old desires of young people to have a “club” of their own. We have full-time professional leadership supplemented by part-time workers and volunteers. We require no proof of good character.  We help and guide boys and girls who may be in danger of acquiring, or who have already acquired, unacceptable habits and attitudes, as well as boys and girls of good character. We assure that all children can afford to belong.  Membership dues are kept low, and scholarships are available, so that all can afford to belong, and even the least interested will not be deterred from joining. We are for all boys and girls.  Young people from all races, religions and cultures are welcome. We are building centered.  Activities are carried on in or initiated from the warm, friendly atmosphere of a building especially designed to conduct youth programs. We have an open door policy.  Clubs are open to all members at any time during its hours of operation.

We offer a varied and diversified program that responds to the collective and individual needs of boys and girls. We are guidance oriented.  Boys & Girls Club of Frederick County emphasizes positive values in the relationships members have with each other and with their adult leaders.  We help boys and girls make appropriate choices in their physical, educational, personal, social, emotional, vocational, and spiritual lives.
