About Us

The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Shasta provides a safe, enriching, and supportive environment where young people can learn, play, and grow beyond school hours. When school’s out, Clubs are in—offering a vital resource for working families and ensuring that youth have structured, high-quality programs during after-school hours, holidays, and summer breaks.

​

Our mission is to serve youth when they need us most—during the critical hours when they might otherwise be home alone or in unsupervised environments. At BGCGS, children and teens find a sense of belonging, caring mentors, and the opportunity to build confidence and essential life skills that set them on the path toward GREAT FUTURES.

​​

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and a proud member of Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA). BGCA provides us with valuable safety standards, programming resources, and national best practices to enhance our impact. However, we operate independently when it comes to fundraising and financial support—we do not receive direct funding from BGCA. Instead, we rely entirely on local grants, community support, and individual donations to sustain and expand our programs.
