The Clermont County Boys and Girls Clubs operate a free standing club at 213 Union St. in New Richmond and inside Amelia Middle School and Glen Este Middle School. Since 1939, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Cincinnati has been changing lives and building great futures for the kids that need it the most.

With 12 Clubs, which include three Clubs in Clermont County, over 7,000 kids that walk through the blue doors annually, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Cincinnati is paving the way for success for kids in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.

This out-of-school youth development organization has taken on a holistic and proactive role in the lives of children across country. We think ourselves as an extension of the families.

We have built a foundation and established stability so that our kids can attend the Clubs free of charge.

We serve a hot, nutritious USDA meal and snack every night, and we even have gone so far to make sure we have certified teachers in our Clubs so that our kids can continue to receive academic support beyond the classroom.
