Boys And Girls Club Of Missoula County
About Boys And Girls Club Of Missoula County
At Boys & Girls Club of Missoula County, the practical stuff is the point. Children from Pre-K through middle school get affordable after-school, summer, full-day, home school, and enrichment programming, along with snacks, meals, homework help, and time to just be kids. For families, that means safe care they can actually access. For donors, it means helping more Missoula County children get consistent support, during the school year and all summer long.
What sets this Club apart is how much it does to keep programming within reach. Scholarships and financial assistance help make sure more families can use the Club, while the offerings stay rooted in year-round care for Missoula County youth from Pre-K through middle school. It is also a place that keeps things interesting, with specialty camps, clubs, and community events layered into everyday support.

Our story
Boys & Girls Club of Missoula County was chartered on December 31, 1997. It began as a teen program for high school students in its original spot on the Hip Strip in downtown Missoula, then grew when elementary school-aged children needed a safe place after school. As the community changed, the Club expanded its partnerships with schools, churches, and community organizations to add more locations and services.
