Boys and Girls Club of the Red River Valley
Youth Commission changes name to Boys & Girls Club
The non-profit partnership of Boys & Girls Club and Youth Commission, often referred to as FYC, is officially changing the names of all program arms to Boys & Girls Clubs of the Red River Valley.
Please be assured virtually every aspect of programming will remain the same except the name.
Our staff will begin using the Boys & Girls Club name and “BGC” with youth and throughout the community. As with any change, this will take some getting used to so we appreciate your efforts and patience during the transition.
The Boys & Girls Club at Hawthorne Elementary provides a safe, caring, and fun environment where youth can participate in activities that focus on academic success, good character, and healthy lifestyles. Programs offered before school, after school, and most school-out days. BGC also offers full-day programs at various locations during the summer.
