Our vision can only be realized by

Inclusion at Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro South


BGCMS invites ALL to contribute their talents and meaningfully participate in the active building of a Movement for

our members, staff, and engaged stakeholders that celebrates individuality and fosters a sense of belonging.

We will actively identify opportunities to act on youth voice and the needs and desires of the communities we

serve to ensure that membership at our Clubs is open and welcoming to all those seeking Great Futures.


Who & How We Serve

Through a combination of after-school, weekend, and summer camp programs Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro South serves boys and girls ages 

5 to 18 at our Brockton and Taunton Clubhouses, Camp Riverside, and at several extension sites throughout Southeastern Massachusetts.


Among our current school year membership,  47% self identify as Black (African American, Haitian,
Cape Verdean, etc.), 26% self identify as Multiracial, 12% self identify as Hispanic, 11% self identify as Caucasian, and 4% identify as Other. 

Our Brockton and Taunton Clubhouses are each located in areas with CDI (Community Disadvantage Index) ratings of 10 out of a maximum of 10.

Our Clubs work with many children who are raised in cycles of poverty 
and who see violence within their home or neighborhood and see that as normal. Our Clubs play a crucial role in intercepting these generational cycles by inspiring our boys and girls, raising expectations, and providing them with opportunities for educational support to ensure that they can succeed, regardless of their life circumstances.
Our Membership at a Glance
Families in our region too often face the difficult task of having to cut ‘extras’ from their budget, which can include after-school programs and enrichment activities for their children.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro South provides an affordable, accessible, safe, and enriching place where boys and girls can just be kids without worrying about the dangers their streets sometimes engender. 

Critically, Club memberships cost 
just $35 per year and no child is ever turned away due to inability to pay.
