At the Boys & Girls Clubs of Syracuse our mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. Boys & Girls Club will seek to make a positive and life-long impact on our community’s children. Young people will have a safe place to go every day after school. Our proactive, preventive programs will be of the highest quality and responsiveness in order to guide children beyond the snares and stumbling blocks in their lives. We will support them with consistent encouragement, professional guidance and instruction and life-changing opportunities. Club experiences will cultivate understanding and appreciation of a diversity of cultures. Club members will become successful, productive and caring citizens. How we help others will be our measure of success. We will not only equip our young people with a membership card, but with a vision and moral compass. Individually and collectively, we will form a constant in the lives of our children.
