Boys & Girls Club of Plymouth

The Boys & Girls Club of Plymouth offers young people what they need and want most: adults who respect and listen to them; a safe environment where they can have fun and be themselves; and interesting, constructive activities that channel youthful energy into challenging pursuits. A youth development strategy underlies all Boys & Girls Club programs and it instills a sense of belonging, competence, usefulness, and upward influence in their Club that builds self-confidence and self-esteem.

Founded in 1911 and chartered in 1915 by the then fledgling Boys Clubs of America, the Boys & Girls Club of Plymouth has served the town and its surrounding communities for nearly 100 years. The Club's recent history mirrors that of the re-chartered Boys & Girls Clubs of America where "gym and swim" has been replaced with more academic pursuits (basic skills and homework help), fitness and agility exercises for both boys and girls suited to individual and small group physical development. Today, over 800 boys and girls from all walks of life (and some at risk) are taking advantage of the programs, activities, and services provided by the Boys & Girls Club of Plymouth. They benefit from trained, caring, professional staff and volunteers who help young people take control of their lives, envision productive futures, and reach their goals.
