Welcome to the Boys & Girls Club of Evansville

 

Garrett Cadwalader named Youth of the Year!

On Thursday, July 22, 2010, Garrett Cadwalader was named the Boys & Girls Club of Evansville's 2010-2011 Youth of the Year! The announcement was made as part of the 3rd Annual Steak & Burger - Youth of the Year Lunch, sponsored by TGI Friday's. Garrett is preparing to begin his senior year at North High School. He has been a member of the Club since he was six years old, and his father also grew up at the Club. He is very active at the Club as a member of the Swoosh Club and Junior Staff. Garrett will represent the organization for the coming year on behalf of all the members, and he will travel to Indianapolis next spring to compete for the State Youth of the Year honor.

The Youth of the Year Program is designed to promote and recognize service to Club and community, academic performance and contributions to family and spiritual life. The Boys & Girls Club annually selects one member who exemplifies the Mission of the Club and displays great character, leadership and service. This is a very special honor for the young person selected, and she/he has the opportunity to travel to Indianapolis and compete for the State Youth of the Year designation. The competition continues at the regional level and concludes with the selection of the National Youth of the Year! Evansville is very proud to be home to the 1964 Boy of the Year, Ed Bassemier.

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

The Boys & Girls Club of Evansville believes every child deserves to live a life filled with hope and opportunity. We provide a safe and fun environment for the young people of our community to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. We achieve this by providing comprehensive educational and recreational programming.

The Boys & Girls Club of Evansville is a very special place for thousands of young people. Here is just part of what makes us so special:

1. Dedicated Youth Facility - our main facilities are designed specifically to serve youth.

2. Open Daily - we are open every day after school and during the summer. We are also open on many of the holidays when school is not in session.

3. Professional Staff - the staff of the Boys & Girls Club of Evansville are trained professionals who are positive role models for the members.

4. Affordable/Available to All Youth - we reach out to kids of all races, religions and ethnic cultures who cannot afford other programs or lack access to them. Membership dues are low, only $10 per year, although it costs BGCE over $350 per year to provide programming for one child.
