Our Mission
To help young people, especially those who need us most,
reach their full potential as productive, responsible, caring citizens.

At the Boys & Girls Club of Corvallis, our goal is to provide
school-age youth the opportunity to develop their intellectual, athletic,
and social skills in a challenging and safe environment. We provide
programs that bring together young people from different social, economic,
and cultural backgrounds. Additionally, we teach by example through
interaction with adult mentors.
|
We believe that…
- Children are an integral part of a community
and the future of our society.
- Our best hope for the future is to support
growth and enrichment through challenging, fun activities with the
guidance of caring adult role models.
- Children learn and develop through a
choice of diverse experiences.
- Every child deserves equal access to
community programs and resources.
- Adults gain immense satisfaction by personally
contributing to the positive development of youth.

Empowers youth to sustain meaningful relationships, develop a positive
self-image, participate in the democratic process, and respect their own
and others' cultural identities.

everyday situations, and embrace technology to achieve career success.
- Health and Life Skills
Young people learn to adopt positive, self-nurturing behaviors, set
personal goals, and live as self-sufficient adults.
- The Arts
Participants will develop creativity and cultural awareness through
knowledge and appreciation of the visual arts, crafts, performing arts,
and art education.
- Sports, Fitness, and Recreation

skills for stress management, appreciation for the environment and social
skills.
