Since opening our doors in April 1956 as The Goshen Boys Club on Crescent Street, Boys & Girls Clubs of Elkhart County has been a steadfast presence in the lives of local youth for nearly 70 years.

Today, we continue that legacy with a dedicated team of skilled, compassionate professionals committed to positive youth development. Every child and teen who walks through our doors is met with encouragement, opportunity, and unwavering belief in their potential.

At Boys & Girls Clubs of Elkhart County, we empower young people to realize they are capable, valued, and important, because they are. Together, we’re shaping confident, resilient leaders for a brighter tomorrow.

Every day, we welcome more than 1,500 youth and teens into our Clubhouses across Elkhart County, including Angola and West Noble. From the moment they arrive, our members enter a space built on consistency, care, and both physical and emotional safety.

We’re more than just a place to go after school, we’re a place to belong. Through meaningful relationships and impactful programming, we help kids and teens unlock their potential and explore new opportunities.

Our Clubs and KidsCare sites are designed to give every young person a high-quality experience that puts success within reach. We focus on workforce development, academic success, social skills, and teen programs. Every member is supported on their journey to graduate from high school with a plan for the future, ready for life, and committed to being a positive force in their community.
