GREAT TEEN PROGRAMS …
We all know teens today face unique challenges. The Boys and Girls Clubs of Nassau County support teens in our community as they face those challenges through The Club Teen Program. Our Mission is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.
With a staff and exclusively tailored program focused on the specific needs of youth ages 13 to 18, The Club is a dynamic, dedicated space inside each Boys & Girls Club Nassau Club facility that provides hands-on education geared toward preparing teens for success in school, higher education, the workplace, and in life.
All programming and experiences are focused on giving teens the exposure and support they need to make positive choices and to go on to be successful adults.

Hours:
School days, after school hours 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm
