Boys & Girls Clubs of the Capital Area - Albany

The Mission of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Capital Area (BGCCA) is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need us the most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring citizens.

In every community, young people are left to find their own recreation and companionship on the streets. An increasing number of children are at home with no adult care or supervision. Young people need to know that someone cares about them. 

BGCCA offers that and more. Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of boys and girls from age 3 to 20 by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence.

Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow – all while having fun.

BGCCA provides a safe place to learn and grow, Ongoing relationships with caring adult professionals, life-enhancing programs and character development experiences, opportunity, and hope.
