Serving 250 kids a day, the Boys & Girls Club of Burlington plays a critical role in supporting the kids and families of the Old North End.  More than just an afterschool program, the Boys & Girls Club works hard to support Burlington youth from kindergarten all the way through higher ed and beyond.

If you’ve ever driven by and wondered what actually happens beyond our doors, please join us for a presentation by Boys & Girls Club Executive Director, Tanya Benosky. We think you’ll be pleasantly surprised and really inspired.
