As part of a greater strategy for proactive expansion and deeper impact into communities and neighborhoods where kids need us most, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis is planning to open a new Club to serve youth ages 6-18 in Ferguson and the surrounding communities.

Starting this summer, a new Boys & Girls Club will open in Ferguson Middle School, located at 701 January Avenue, to serve approximately 400 members.

What has happened since the death of Michael Brown last August reflects a series of broken relationships; between communities of color and law enforcement; between the affluent and the poor; between whites and blacks; between government and the governed; and between those with jobs and the unemployed. Any response to these underlying causes of tension and unrest must attempt to address one or more of these challenges.

“Creating a Boys & Girls Club in the Ferguson area will produce positive outcomes in a community that has been subsumed with difficult realties and negative images. Moving a successful youth focused organization into Ferguson like Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis, which has a long track record of success, can bolster young people’s attitudes and give them a sense of hope. A new club will enrich our children’s lives and the city by helping its youth build strong character, graduate from high school with a plan for life, and become productive citizens,” said Dr. Flint Fowler, Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis President.
