A letter from our CEO
For over 50 years, the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Northern Indiana Corridor (BGCNIC) has been a trusted leader in afterschool programming, providing a safe and enriching environment for youth in our communities. It is an honor to lead this organization as we continue to grow and serve more kids and teens than ever before.
With our recent expansion into Cass, Fulton, Pulaski, White, and Clinton County, we remain committed to making a lasting impact and ensuring that every child has access to the opportunities they need to succeed. Our mission extends beyond numbers—it's about the transformative experiences we provide for the kids we serve.
As the largest out-of-school-time provider in the region, we focus on academic enrichment, emotional support, and building the skills needed for successful futures. By offering opportunities that extend beyond the classroom, we empower kids to shape their own path forward in a safe, nurturing environment.
Currently, we proudly serve:
-
5,112 Club kids and teens
-
38 Club sites
-
16 school districts
-
6 counties across the Northern Indiana Corridor
-
With 600 kids still waiting for access to Club programs
The need for our programs continues to grow, and we are dedicated to expanding our reach to meet that demand. I invite you to join us in this mission—whether as a volunteer, donor, or advocate—because together, we can ensure that every child in our community has the resources, support, and opportunities they deserve.
With gratitude,
