Welcome to the NEW Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater New Haven

At the Club House

Located in the heart of the Hill neighborhood, we are a second home to children and teens from across New Haven. Generations of families have counted on us to inspire their kids to be the very best they can be—in a safe and nurturing place.

Our Promise

Every New Haven kid is special. We provide caring mentors and a safe place to help them reach their full potential. Innovative, quality programs that are not only fun but also support youth to excel in school and lead healthy, productive lives. We do whatever it takes to ensure all New Haven kids have a great future.

In The Community

Our impact extends way beyond our Columbus Avenue home with after school programs at the West Rock Community Center and at Bishop Woods Magnet School.

The Power of Partnership

Our national partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of America and local collaboration with the City of New Haven, the Community Foundation for New Haven, and other New Haven organizations, brings together powerful resources to collectively lift up our youth. Together, we do whatever it takes to build great futures.

“I never want to leave this place!” – 8 year old Club Member on last day of summer camp

“My daughter is getting extra help at the Club that she cannot get at school. The afterschool program is a great experience for her!”

“The Club gave my son somewhere to go so my husband and I could continue to work. With school being closed we had no options and have been scrambling for months. The Club is a blessing!”

“My son never stops talking about all of the fun he has. He can’t wait to go to the Learning Hub each day and he loves it. He needed the interaction after being stuck in the house for months.”
