Boys & Girls Clubs work to save and change the lives of children and teens, especially those who need us most, by providing them with a safe, positive and engaging environment and programs that prepare and inspire them to achieve Great Futures. Through eight Clubs in four parishes, our trained and professional staff serves hundreds of children daily. Our programs focus on helping kids and teens get ready for college and career, live healthy, and lead in their communities.
