Whatever It Takes To Build Great Futures
Welcome to The Boys & Girls Clubs of The Lowcountry
Our mission is to enable all children, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens. In 10 locations throughout the South Carolina Lowcountry, our Clubs serve children ages 6-18 in after-school, Saturday, and Summer programming that focuses on three key development areas: academic and career preparedness, healthy lifestyles, and good citizenship and character.
We’re more than a safe place to go after school — we are changing lives!

safe, inclusive environments for children to thrive.
We provide fun, safe, and inclusive environments where children are given the opportunity to become successful and grow. They are connected to adult mentors and educators, given a hot meal and snack, and given access to programming that will prepare them for great futures.
We believe that the best way to predict the future is to create it, so our Clubs are centered around growing the whole child and enabling children to reach their full potential. We level the playing field and create an environment that sets all children up for success, regardless of their background, family-life, or economic status.
