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.

Our Mission

To empower all young people, especially those who need us the most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.

Our Vision

Our Vision is to provide a world-class club experience that assures success is within reach of every young person who enters our doors with all members on track to graduate from high school with a plan for the future, demonstrating good character and citizenship, and living a healthy lifestyle.
