History
of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America
Boys & Girls Clubs of America had its beginnings
in 1860 with several women in Hartford, Conn. Believing
that boys who roamed the streets should have a positive
alternative, they organized the first Club. A cause
was born.
In 1906, several Boys Clubs decided to affiliate.
The Federated Boys Clubs in Boston was formed with
53 member organizations.
In 1931, the Boys Club Federation of America became
Boys Clubs of America.
In 1956, Boys Clubs of America celebrated its 50th
anniversary and received a U.S. Congressional Charter.
To recognize the fact that girls are a part of our
cause, the national organization's name was changed
to Boys & Girls Clubs of America in 1990. Accordingly,
Congress amended and renewed our charter.
Our
Local History
The Boys & Girls Club of Zionsville was started
in 1983 as part of the Boone County Boys & Girls
Club in Lebanon. In 1990 the Club split to form
two separate clubs. Concerned citizens saw a need
for a place for youth to go after school, during
school days off and during school seasonal breaks.
They saw the need for a place that was affordable
to all families. A place that offered a positive
and nurturing environment where kids could learn
new skills and development a greater sense of self.
A place that was safe for school-aged children and
helped them develop into productive citizens. The
Boys & Girls Club of Zionsville began in the
old Varsity Gym, located at that time on Fifth Street.
It moved to its present location on Mulberry Street
in 1996. Today the Club serves youth throughout
Southeastern Boone County. |
