In September 1994, Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County proposed an outreach and partnership program to all Glades area schools.

By December, an agreement was reached for the Club to assume the operation of after school programs in three elementary schools in Belle Glade.

Over the years, the Glades Area Boys & Girls Club grew to encompass six school-based sites and one stand-alone facility, serving more than 1,200 youth through programs and outreach.

“There is no better place to take care of my kids while I’m working and all through the summer than the Boys & Girls Clubs!”
