The Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford (BGCH), the founding organization of the National Boys & Girls Clubs movement, began in 1860 when four local women opened their homes to disadvantaged boys and the Dashaway Club was formed. Today, 160 years later, Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford continues to be in the forefront of youth development, working with young people from disadvantaged economic, social and family circumstances. BGCH actively seeks to enrich the lives of girls and boys whom other youth agencies have difficulty reaching, by focusing its efforts on three impact areas: Academic Success, Good Character and Citizenship, and Healthy Lifestyles. We are dedicated to ensuring that all of our community’s children and teens – especially those who need us most – have access to our Club’s quality programs and services to enhance their lives and positively shape their futures. All programs are designed to drive positive outcomes for youth and reinforce necessary life skills.
