Boys & Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Baltimore

Our mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.

Our Formula for Impact: Five Key Elements for Positive Youth Development -Create a safe, positive environment -Generate fun and foster a sense of belonging -Encourage supportive relationships with peers and adults -Provide opportunities and set expectations -Offer recognition -Targeted Programs Targeted Programs are sequenced learning experiences with specific objectives for building skills and knowledge, organized into five Core Program Areas. They are targeted to help youth achieve positive outcomes in one or more of the Formula for Impact’s three priority outcome areas. -High-Yield Activities High-Yield Activities are hands-on, interactive, fun experiences that intentionally develop and reinforce core skills explicitly taught through Targeted Programs and help support our three priority outcome areas. -Regular Attendance Regular Attendance is important for deepening our positive impact on young people. We need to make sure they become members, attend often, and stay members as they grow up.
