About us
Our mission is to inspire and empower all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. Boys & Girls Clubs of Elkhart County is a youth development organization with over 65 years of experience staffed by skilled, caring professionals who see potential in every child and teen that walks through our doors. Our mission is to inspire and empower all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential, as productive, caring, responsible, citizens. We are here to elevate the youth of our community and let them know that they are capable, worthy and important. We offer safe places where young people can learn, grow, and succeed. Since the doors of The Goshen Boys Club first opened in 1956, our organization has been a force for good in the lives of young people. As soon as Club members walk through our doors, they enter an environment of stability, consistency, and physical and emotional safety. Each day, we welcome more than 1,300 youth between the ages of six and 18 to our Clubhouses and school-based sites. Each day we build deeply powerful relationships with the youth we serve and open avenues of opportunity for young people across our community. Our Clubhouses run programs designed to be fun and engaging, while building skills and confidence for a successful future. Our areas of focus include Academic Success and Career Development, Good Character and Citizenship, and Healthy Lifestyles. In addition, we offer programs in Sports and Recreation and the Creative Arts and have specialized programming for Teen members. We are located in neighborhoods where the greatest need exists. We’re open when kids need us most - after school, on most school breaks, and all day during the summer. Today, we have locations in Elkhart, Goshen, Middlebury, and Nappanee and serve over 6,000 youth annually.

Thank you, Mary Trausch-Martin from Senator Mike Braun’s office, for taking the time to tour our Nappanee Clubhouse and talk with us. She learned a new card game and she was even trusted with information about what some kids are dressing up as for Halloween. 😂🤔. #Greatfutures Boys & Girls Clubs of Elkhart County
