Boys and Girls Clubs of the Permian Basin Inc

The Boys & Girls Club came to Odessa in 1958 and Midland in 1965.  And in 2013, the Odessa and Midland clubs, remaining independent organizations, formed an association of the Boys & Girls of the Permian Basin. (If a donation is made to the association of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Permian Basin, it is divided equally and given to the Midland and Odessa clubs unless the donor specifies otherwise. The association has no employees and virtually no expenses.)

Currently, there are four facilities in the Midland-Odessa area, annually serving 4,000+ kids from ages 6 to 18, with most being in elementary school.  Each facility has an academic/computer room, game room, art room, kitchen, gymnasium, adjacent park, and a bus.  

As we do not want any child left behind due to a lack of financial resources or parental involvement, we try to keep our service fees very low. We charge only $20 a month for the afterschool program.  And if a child can’t afford the token fee, he or she is given the opportunity to do a few hours of chores to earn it.
