In our work with children, youth, families and communities, all Boys and Girls Clubs are guided by the following Core Values. These Core Values are the standard by which all Boys and Girls Club services are measured.
Belonging: We welcome everyone in a safe, accepting environment based on belonging and positive relationships.
Respect: We ensure that everyone – children, youth, families, volunteers, staff – is heard, respected, valued and treated fairly.
Encouragement and Support: We encourage and support every child and youth to play, learn and grow to achieve their dreams.
Working Together: We work together with young people, families, volunteers, our communities and government.
Speaking Out: We speak out with children, youth and families so that we can make our world better.
