About Us:
The Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows is dedicated to creating a space where every child feels safe and connected: a place to belong and a place to become. This is the place for nearly 14,500 youth in 55 locations across Reno, Sparks, Fernley, Ely, Tonopah, and Winnemucca. We are a place for kids to go before and after school, during school breaks, and during the summer to grow beyond the classroom. We help kids and teens achieve great futures by providing a safe and fun space, an engaging Club experience, and caring professionals to guide them along the way.
Core Values:
One of the reasons the Boys & Girls Club is different from other out-of-school programs is that we provide special, structured programming centered around our Club’s core values.
Character & Leadership Development
Sports Fitness & Recreation
STEM
Art
Health & Life Skills
This specialized and structured learning helps our members develop skill sets and knowledge in areas not addressed at school or in some homes. By teaching these specific values, we are creating an environment where our members can become the best version of themselves. We teach financial literacy, the value of volunteerism, self-care, and hygiene, and so much more. The Club collaborates with community partners in the arts, STEM, finance, and safety to inspire and further enrich the programming we offer our members.
Services:
We also act as a resource center for our families and the community. Free meals and basic needs supplies are provided to all those who need these resources. We proudly offer college scholarships to teens, and no youth is ever turned away from the Club due to an inability to pay.
Finally, the Club is home to several sports leagues, including Teeny Tots (soccer, basketball, T-ball, and tumble) for children aged 3-5, as well as K-8th-grade boys’ and girls’ basketball, flag football, specialized sports clinics, and more.
