About Us

Our mission is to inspire and enable all youth to become responsible, productive and caring citizens.  Boys & Girls Clubs of Hancock County (BGCHC) provides a safe haven, adult role models, and a variety of programs that support the educational, emotional, physical, and social development of youth, without regard to social, racial, ethnic, or religious background.  

In 2008, we served 5,335 children and teens, ages 5 to 18, in our Clubs, and through our programs and partnerships.  

Our approach focuses on five core initiatives: Arts; Education (and Technology) and Career Development; Leadership and Character Development; Health and Life Skills; and Sports, Fitness and Recreation.  

Our Clubs in Hancock County reflect the communities in which they are located. Some are free-standing facilities; some share space with middle and elementary schools. It is not the type of building that makes them Clubs, but the quality of the staff and the effectiveness of the programs that take place within them. Our 2 Clubs are located in Greenfield and Shirley with an after-school program at Eastern Hancock Elementary School.
