Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Boys & Girls Clubs, Children & Youth
Mission: The mission of the organization is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need help most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens. The organization provides a positive, safe and exciting environment for children to learn, grow and develop while offering programs for children, teens, adults and families. We provide services to more than 1,800 members annually and our outreach activities have a positive impact on almost 5,500 young annually.
Programs: The boys & girls club of newport county's kids clubhouse is a licensed before- and after-school program for children ages 5-12 years old that provides a safe and welcoming environment for young people to connect with positive adult role models and participate in programs that help them succeed in school, live healthier lives, and become leaders in their communities. In the summer months more than 300 children and youth attend camp grosvenor, the club's waterfront day camp located in saunderstown, where kids participate in traditional camp activities (high/low ropes course, climbing wall, swimming, arts & crafts, archery, field games, etc. ) as well as educational enrichment programs that help prevent summer-learning loss. The club's teen programs, designed to meet the interests and needs of older youth, are offered at two accessible locations in newport and keep adolescents engaged so that they will achieve better outcomes as they transition into adulthood.
