CLUB KIDS NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
When kids have what they need, they can become whoever they want to be.
YOUR SUPPORT MAKES AN IMPACT
We invite local businesses and organizations to partner with us to provide our Club kids with a safe and positive space that provides caring mentors and surrounds them with friends. You can help them experience new opportunities and discover new passions to pursue.
For over 75 years, Boys & Girls Club of Great Kingsport have provided kids and teens from age six to early adulthood with the safe places, caring mentors and skill-building opportunities to be successful in school, career and life.
We deliver engaging programs focused on academics, health & wellness, character leadership, and life and workforce readiness designed to empower youth to excel in school and lead healthy, productive lives. We do whatever it takes to ensure all kids have a great future.
