Mission: To inspire and enable all youth, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive and caring citizens. A conversation decades in the making. “Why does Muskegon not have a Boys & Girls Club?” For year’s community focused groups discussed and attempted the opening of a Boys & Girls Club in Muskegon. However, in each case there was a common denominator. The financial resources needed to open and sustain a Boys & Girls Club. In 2013 those discussions started becoming more than just words. Planning began, a board was formed and a funding campaign developed. By the fall of 2014 the founding board of directors raised just over $1,000,000 for the seed money necessary to operate a Boys & Girls Club for three years. The greatest obstacle, financing the club was overcome. After years of waiting and months of tireless nights the Boys & Girls Club of the Muskegon Lakeshores door opened in Nelson Elementary School on April 20th of 2015 to its first 30 members. By the end of 2015 the clubs membership reached over 300, serving over 70 youth every day. Within that year the club served over 7,000 meals and set operating hours to be open when youth were most in need. Today, the Boys & Girls Club of the Muskegon Lakeshore continues growth and continues to receive new opportunities to serve youth in areas of Muskegon County which need us most. There is a saying amongst the organization that has held true since day one. “Dreams Don’t Work Unless You Do.” We believe Great Futures are ahead for the youth of Muskegon County, but realize without the Boys & Girls Club Great Futures are only a dream. Our future awaits in making the dream of Great Futures a reality.
