Our Mission
Our mission is to enable young people, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring citizens.
For more than half a century, Boys & Girls Club of Chattanooga has helped put young people on the path to great futures.
We put every child that walks through our doors on track to graduate from high school with a plan for the future. We challenge children to push beyond their expectations, demonstrate good character and citizenship, and embrace a healthy lifestyle. We recognize accomplishments and encourage their dreams. And all the while, we make it fun.
