The Boys & Girls Clubs of Buffalo is a nonprofit organization that has a mission to:

"provide appropriate and diversified programs and activities that serve to attract and hold area youth to the Clubhouse. ... provide environments that teach children the skills needed to build positive lives, attitudes and behaviors.

Since 1926, Boys & Girls Clubs of Buffalo has been in the forefront of youth development, working with young people from disadvantaged economic, social, and family circumstances. We have actively sought to enrich the lives of girls and boys whom other youth agencies failed to reach and we are dedicated to ensuring that our community's disadvantaged youngsters have greater access to quality programs and services that will enhance their lives and shape their futures. Today, Boys & Girls Clubs of Buffalo serves 8,000 youth between the ages of 6-18. We are not only a place where youth can come and hang out after school, but a safe haven that allows them to develop into young adults with the necessary skills and sense of self to succeed outside of our buildings."
