About the BGCO

We are the area's only full-time youth service agency that is staffed by full and part-time youth development professionals. The Club is open every day after school and all day long during the summer, giving our kids a safe, fun place to go until their parents or guardians can pick them up. The Club serves children from the Branson, Hollister, Forsyth, Bradleyville, Taneyville, Kirbyville and Reeds Spring School Districts, as well as home-schooled students.

Hero(es) of the Month

Thrift Shop Volunteers

In everyone's life there are those individuals that you know you can count on - no matter what! For the Boys & Girls Club of the Ozarks, those hard-working, devoted individuals volunteer endless hours at our Thrift Store, located at on East Highway 76. These men and women accept and sort donations, greet and assist customers and do it all with a smile - six days a week. The most amazing part of their service at the Thrift Store is that this team of volunteers, under the direction of "Mrs. Joyce" Thompson, generates tens of thousands of dollars in unrestricted income for the Club each year! Without the dedication of the Thrift Store volunteers, hundreds of kids throughout the Ozarks would not have the chance to experience all that the Club has to offer. Thank you to our May Heroes of the Month for providing hope and opportunity for young people in our community by making EVERY nickel and dime count!

Character Trait of the Month

The Boys & Girls Club of the Ozarks is proud to be a FirstPLACE partner. FirstPLACE is a program of the Keeter Center for Character Education at the College of the Ozarks, and strives to foster a community where character is highly valued and intentionally taught. Club members who demonstrate the character trait of the month are recognized and rewarded!

Mission Statement

The mission of the Boys & Girls Club of the Ozarks is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those that need us most, to reach their full potential as caring, responsible and productive citizens.

Vision Statement

It is the vision of the Boys & Girls Club of the Ozarks to be recognized as the premier youth development organization in our Ozarks Mountain community by providing leadership, support and inspiration for our youth to make the right choices and prepare for their future.

The Club's wide variety of programs and activities ensure that all kids will find activities that interest and excite them at the Club, whether it is playing basketball, learning to play guitar, doing their homework in the Club's state-of-the-art Tech Center, or just playing in the game room. Our award-winning U-Pick Program lets kids choose a different activity almost every day!

The Club also provides a hot meal to every member every day after school, for no additional charge. Often, this is the child's only hot meal of the day. (Two meals a day, plus a snack, are served during the summer.)

Club membership has grown steadily through the years, and we are now serving nearly 1,200 children from throughout our community! In addition to our members, the Club reaches hundreds of other youth from the area through programs like Girl Scouts, Boys Scouts, outdoor education classes, and community events.
