For 25 years, Boys & Girls Club of Elgin has been in the forefront of youth development, working with young people from disadvantaged economic, social and family circumstances. Our mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. We are dedicated to ensuring that our community’s disadvantaged children and teens have greater access to quality programs and services that will enhance their lives and shape their futures. BGCE has 16 locations and serves nearly 1,000 youth every day and over 6,000 annually.
