Our Mission

"To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens."

Boys & Girls Clubs of the Gulf Coast works to save and change the lives of children and teens, especially those who need us most, by providing them with a safe, positive and engaging environment and programs that prepare and inspire them to achieve Great Futures. Through 6 Clubs in 2 counties, our trained and professional staff serves more than 6,300 youth annually. Our programs focus on helping kids succeed in school, live healthier, and become leaders.

2025-2026 YOUTH OF THE YEAR CANDIDATES

Youth of the Year is Boys & Girls Clubs’ year-round character and leadership recognition program, a signature effort to foster a new generation of leaders. Each Club nominates members aged 14-18 who demonstrate academic achievement, leadership skills, and service to the community. Our members compete to represent our organization of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Gulf Coast Youth of the Year. These teens are working hard, investing in themselves, and setting their sights on achieving a GREAT FUTURE. Our BGCGC Youth of the Year has the opportunity to compete at the State level and possibly beyond!
