We also offer before- and after-school care for our school-age members from preschool through 5th grade and Teen Center programming for youth 6th through 12th grade. We provide all-day summer programming and seasonal youth sports programs, such as soccer, lacrosse, and softball.

The philosophy of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Kennebec Valley is that children of all ages are entitled to a safe, positive environment, fun, supportive relationships, opportunities, expectations and recognition. • Safe, Positive Environment: Club staff, facilities, programs and age-appropriate settings create stability, consistency and a sense of physical and emotional safety for members. The Club provides structure and clearly defines acceptable behavior. • Fun: The Club generates fun for members. Members develop a strong sense of belonging through connections they establish with staff and peers. Staff members make the Club feel more like home, fostering a family atmosphere and creating a sense of ownership for members. • Family Supportive Relationships: Club youth develop meaningful relationships with adults and their peers. Staff members actively encourage such relationships. Staff members display warmth, caring, appreciation, acceptance and guidance in their interactions with members. • Opportunities, Expectations: Club youth acquire physical, social, technological, artistic and life skills. The Club encourages members to develop a moral character while reinforcing high expectations and helping members with school and post-secondary education. • Recognition: The Club recognizes and supports young people’s self-worth and accomplishments. Staff members encourage youth and provide positive reinforcement as they make improvements and experience successes. The Club showcases young people’s achievements. • Family Support: We take our responsibility to you and your family very seriously and work as a team to provide a safe, positive environment for all Club members. Let's work together to make sure your children have a safe place, positive adults, healthy activities, fun, opportunities to help each other, and most of all, the love and support they need to grow into happy, healthy adults.
