What we offer: A Unique Approach to Helping Children

One of our key strengths in working with young people is our approach. Boys and Girls Clubs focus on the positive potential of every child because-we believe in kids! We understand the fundamental importance of nurturing young people's minds, bodies and spirits.
A Safe, Enriching and Fun Place to Go When School is Out

Our clubs offer children, ages 5-18, a safe place to channel their energies into positive, challenging activities that encourage personal growth, learning, community involvement and healthy living.

The Boys and Girls Club of Truro and Colchester is open weekdays after school, some evenings and weekends as well as full days when there is no school.
