The key to the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Lynchburg’s success is rooted in our collaborations.

- Girls Scouts

- Woodman of the World
- CHUMS
- Jubilee Family Services
- Presbyterian Homes
- Sylvan Learning Center
- Commonwealth Attorney’s Office
- Lynchburg Police Department
Our philosophy is that we can do it better if we work together.
The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Lynchburg also provides programming in the arts, nutrition, sports and fitness. These programs, like all programs offered through the Club, are open to all members ages 6 through 18. Clubs vary their schedules to engage the largest number of members in the greatest variety of enhancement opportunities. The result is that the total Club becomes a learning center.
Members use math skills in the gymnasium for scorekeeping, in the kitchen for cooking, in the art room for measuring, etc. They practice literacy skills by reading rules to a new game, writing an article in the Club newsletter, or writing poetry for the bulletin board. Learning becomes synonymous with Club activities and Club members cannot wait to be a part of the fun!
