Our Mission: To inspire and empower Greater Holland's children and teens, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens. The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Holland is a safe place to learn and grow – all while having fun. It is the place where great futures are started each and every day. Our Club offers programs and services designed to create academic success, character citizenship, and healthy lifestyles in a fun, safe, and constructive after-school and summer environment. We have three facilities, a South Side Unit and a North Side Unit and East Side Unit, used solely for youth programs. The Club is open every day after school, and weekdays during the summer when youth are unsupervised and need positive and productive activities. We have full-time, trained youth development professionals providing guidance, direction, and mentorship. The Club charges $5.00 per year for a membership to allow affordability for all children. Visit our website, www.bgch.org, to find more information about our Club and how you can get involved!

We are excited to announce a twist to the 12th annual Corks & Forks event. As we honor the rich history of this beloved occasion, we celebrate the amazing growth of the Club throughout the Saugatuck/Douglas area. In response to this expansion, consideration of our generous donors’ time, and the desire to cultivate new relationships where we serve, we are excited to host Corks & Forks at Ivy House in Saugatuck on Thursday, December 5th. We are thrilled about this change and welcome our return to the historic Green Barn! Please join us in your “barn attire” as we reimagine a Club tradition and celebrate the evening in an “Out West Winter Wonderland”. Sign Up Today: https://lnkd.in/gbXUfakN
