Martha’s Vineyard Boys & Girls Club is committed to enabling all island youth to reach their full potential as innovative, caring, and responsible citizens. Our Club is a place to become.
We’re Building Something New
The new 25,000 sq foot building will allow our Boys & Girls Club to address current space constraints as well as facility issues that require on-going and costly repairs. We’re updating program areas to state-of-the-art spaces where all young people are able to acquire the necessary 21st Century skills to realize their full potential.
This major investment in our facility and services will ensure our Club - with its 85-year island history - can continue serving the community for generations to come.
OUR IMPACT
The Club is critical to the development and well-being of Martha’s Vineyard youth.
Nearly 50% of the island’s elementary-aged children use the Club for out-of school time activities, be it the after-school program, supplemental sports programs or academic enrichment opportunities.
The Club serves as a pillar in the community with the ability to address the emergent needs of the members and families it serves by filling resource gaps.
To date, we have raised nearly 70% of the funds needed to reach our $15 million dollar goal to build a new state-of-the-art facility to meet the needs of island youth.
We’ve embarked on an ambitious yet achievable campaign to reach our fundraising goal by October 1.
