The Boys & Girls Clubs of Bloomington are dedicated to creating opportunity for ALL children within this community. With three Clubs to serve our youth, we provide safe, well supervised and comprehensive programming that is accessible to all. We couldn’t do that without the help from hundreds of volunteers each year. Whether is it helping lead a program or doing maintenance around the Clubs, we couldn’t do it without our volunteers.
