In a world that seems threatening and lacking promise for many of today’s children, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Spokane County provide a tangible measure of hope. The Club offers young people what they need and want most: adults who respect and listen to them; a safe environment where they can have fun and be themselves; and interesting, constructive activities that channel their energy into challenging pursuits. All Boys & Girls Club programs are designed to build youth’s self-confidence and self-esteem.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Spokane County is part of a nationwide affiliation of local, autonomous organizations that work to help young people of all backgrounds develop the qualities they need to become responsible citizens and leaders. The Clubs are facility-based, employ over twenty paid professional staff members and are supplemented by part-time volunteers. We offer daily access to a broad range of programs in five Core Program Areas:
• Education and Career Development
• Character and Leadership Development
• Health and Life Skills
• The Arts
• Sports, Fitness and Recreation
Today, nearly 3,700 girls and boys are taking advantage of the programs, activities and services provided by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Spokane County. They benefit from trained, caring, professional staff and volunteers who help them take control of their lives, envision productive futures and achieve their goals. Now, more than ever, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Spokane County fills a crucial need for today’s youth, providing the hope and opportunity kids need to succeed.
Dedicated to a beloved Shiloh Hills Elementary School teacher who lost a courageous battle with cancer, the Lisa Stiles-Gyllenhammer Club opened its doors to kids, ages 6 - 18, in 2010. Located in the Pittsburg Learning Center, the Lisa Stiles-Gyllenhammer Club is the second largest Club in Spokane, serving hundreds of kids daily. Welcoming youth from all over North Spokane County, this Club offers the same great programs with one special difference - buses from many neighboring schools end their route at the Clubhouse and therefore transportation opportunities may exist for members.
