Who We Are
Our Story
Boys & Girls Clubs of Acadiana is a 55-year-old organization running after-school and summer programs for youth ages 6-18 in 8 Clubs in 7 Parishes.
The Clubs provide a safe space for kids, positive adult mentors, meals, and quality programming in 3 impact areas: Academic Success, Healthy Lifestyles & Habits, and Good Character & Citizenship. We believe every kid and teen deserves access to experiences and opportunities that change their lives for the better. Through caring mentors, innovative programming and an unwavering commitment to safety, Clubs across the nation do whatever it takes to support youth on their path to a great future.
