At Boys & Girls Clubs of Southwest Virginia, our Board of Trustees stands united around one simple but powerful belief: every child in Southwest Virginia deserves a safe place to learn, grow, and thrive. For almost 30 years, we’ve worked side-by-side with staff, volunteers, families, and community partners to open doors of opportunity for our area’s youth — giving them academic support, healthy activities, mentorship, and a safe place to belong.
