OUR MISSION
To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full
potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
Since 2006, the Boys and Girls Club of the Greater Cook County Area has provided children and teens in the community with a safe and positive environment to learn, play, and grow.
We believe that every child deserves the chance to reach their full potential, that's the heart and soul of our work and aligns directly with our mission. The Boys and Girls Club is more than just a place for kids to hang out. It's a place where kids can thrive. We believe that every kid deserves a chance to succeed, and we're here to help them make that happen.
Mrs. Leigh Sears,
CEO
"It is such an honor and privilege to serve the community that's given me so much and made me who I am. It means so much to me that I can give back to the community and make a difference in these kids' lives."
Mr. C'reon Arnold,
Director
"I am deeply committed to our youth’s success both during and long after the Boys and Girls Club. I lead with a pure heart, strategy, and purpose. I believe everyone no matter the age deserves mentor who sees their full potential, even when they can’t always see it themselves.
