About Us


Since 1972, Boys & Girls Clubs of Pueblo County’s proven youth development strategy has been the solution for children and teens in need. The Club’s afterschool and summer programs fulfill an unquestionable need: keeping local youth productively occupied, out of trouble, and in a positive learning environment.  


Locations

We operate nine Clubhouses, 7 are school-based sites, and  two are in a community center site in Pueblo County. Clubhouses are intentionally located in areas high in poverty and crime, with limited opportunities for young people.

Clubhouses: Avondale Clubhouse, East Side Clubhouse, Sprague Clubhouse, Irving Clubhouse, Minnequa Clubhouse, Cesar Chavez Clubhouse, and Ray Aguilera Teen Clubhouse @Central, Prairie Winds Clubhouse, Pueblo Academy of Arts Clubhouse 

Hours

Hours

Every day after school, thousands of local children go home to empty houses. We know the hours after school, until parents arrive home, is the peak time for juvenile crime and experimentation with drugs, alcohol, cigarettes and sex. 

But when kids participate in after school programs, like Boys & Girls Clubs, they are less likely to skip class, use drugs, smoke, drink alcohol, or engage in sexual activity. 

Cost

More than 7 out of 10 of Club members live at or below the poverty level; the Club offers their families year-round afterschool and summer programming at no cost. 

Although we charge no fees, it costs the Club $2000 to serve a child for one year. Parents & guardians are encouraged to invest in the Club. If you are able and willing to do so follow the Give button to make a donation!

Focus

The Club is focused on providing what kids need and want most.  The Club offers a safe environment where young people can have fun and be themselves; interesting, constructive activities that channel their youthful energy in challenging pursuits; and adults who respect and listen to them.
