Boys & Girls Clubs of the Virginia Peninsula

Boys & Girls Clubs of the Virginia Peninsula has ensured that youth living on the Virginia Peninsula have an inclusive and safe space to engage in an array of development opportunities since 1946. During our Afterschool and Summer Programs, youth not only enjoy the benefits of participating in Club programming, but they also develop positive relationships with peers, adult staff, and volunteers. Our core programs focus on Education, Leadership & Service, Health & Wellness, The Arts, and Sports & Recreation, and through this multifaceted and holistic approach, we aim to empower tomorrow's leaders. More than 75 years ago, 250 neighborhood boys in the area entered the Boys Club of Newport News on 28th Street. The organization has witnessed incredible growth since those first young men walked through those doors. We now serve over 5,000 boys and girls ages 6-18 each year in the cities of Hampton and Newport News, and in the counties of Gloucester, James City, and York at 11 Club sites.
