Boys & Girls Club of Oak Ridge

The mission of the Boys & Girls Club of Oak Ridge is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring responsible citizens. The vision of the Boys & Girls Club of Oak Ridge is to provide a safe place to learn and grow, through ongoing relationships with caring, adult professionals, life-enhancing programs and character-developing experiences that offer hope and opportunity.

Our organization started in 1958 when the Oak Ridge Boys Club first opened its doors. In 2008, our programming expanded to serve girls as well and we officially changed our name to Boys & Girls Club of Oak Ridge. Youth 5-17 years of age can become Club members with a small annual fee and minimal weekly fees. Programming is offered after school, during summer and on select holiday breaks. The Oak Ridge Club still offers its long tradition of athletic programming. The Club give all youth the opportunity to make new friends. Through their diversified social, athletic, craft, and educational programs, youth are given opportunities to learn skills for work and play. Most importantly learning to become confident leaders with GREAT FUTURES. In order to keep our fees minimal, we rely on support from United Way, state, federal and corporate grants, foundations, events and fundraisers and generous individual gifts. We utilize community partnerships and actively engage and recruit new community volunteers to help support and advocate for our programs. We need YOU!
