"The former W. W. Woolfolk Boys & Girls Club gave me a sense of belonging. Upon entering the blue doors of my local Club, I was often greeted with “What’s up, D. Hall?” Those smiling faces and familiar voices who knew my name became my community. Those same voices were used to correct, comfort, and confirm me at pivotal moments." Read more

“I would personally say that the Boys & Girls Club changed my life in every aspect. Not only did the Boys & Girls Club provide a second home for me to spend my time after school, but they were willing to invest in me by providing an endless number of opportunities. They developed me into a young professional adult through their workforce development programs like Career/College Bound.”

What is Alumni Relations?

Alumni Relations continues BGCMA support as rising alumni transition into college, workforce, or military. We will be focusing specifically on connection, tracking, and sharing stories of Club alumni.
