Welcome to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Monmouth County

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Monmouth County empowers all young people—especially those who need us most—to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens.

The doors of our Clubs throughout Monmouth County are open every day after-school and during summer camp. Our Clubs are safe, fun places for kids to spend their time when they’re not in school or at home. Through positive mentoring relationships, life skills classes, sports, arts, STEAM, academics, workforce readiness, and leadership programs, our young people gain access to the tools they need to grow and lead healthy lives. We create an environment where kids are not only able to dream and aspire, but can also envision the way there.

The Club is open to all children ages 5 1⁄2-18. Our after-school program runs weekdays from 2:30-6 P.M., with snacks and dinner being served to every member. Our Asbury Park teen program operates Tuesday – Thursday in the evenings until 9 P.M.

The Club is the RIGHT PLACE at the RIGHT TIME, providing life-changing programs to kids who need it most.
