Our vision is to provide a world-class Club Experience that assures success is within reach of every young per- son who enters our doors, with all members on track to graduate from high school with a plan for the fu- ture, demonstrating good character and citizenship, and living a healthy lifestyle. Boys & Girls Clubs of Amer- ica had its beginnings in 1860 with three women in Hartford, Connecti- cut - Mary Goodwin, Alice Goodwin and Elizabeth Hammersley.
