OUR CLUBS
Which Blue Door Will You Walk Through?
Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Iowa provides kids and teens with a safe, positive environment with programs that are led by a team of professionally trained youth development specialists. The diverse collection of programs offered at our Clubs are tailored to encourage growth in three areas: Academic Success, Health and Wellness, and Good Character and Leadership while preparing and inspiring Club youth to reach their full potential.
Today, through the strength of partnerships, we offer programs and services for youth from 6 to 18 years old in eight neighborhood Club locations across the Des Moines area. We operate three Clubs for youth in grades K-5, three Clubs for youth in middle school, one teen-only Club, and one freestanding Club at Drake University for youth in grades K-12.
