Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Virginia offer a lineup of nationally recognized programs that address today’s most pressing youth issues.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Virginia enables all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible members of the communities in which they live. For nearly 30 years, our core programs have engaged young people in activities with adults and peers, building our kids’ self-esteem and helping them reach their full potential. With locations in Albemarle, Charlottesville, Madison and Orange, our Clubs now serve more than 2,000 kids annually.

For their Teens Give Back project this year, Boys & Girls Club Cherry Avenue teens are running 🐾Paws for a Cause🐾 - a supply drive for the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA. The SPCA needs things like canned cat and dog food and puppy pads and pet waste disposal bags. They can also use cleaning supplies like dish soap and paper towels. Help Cherry teens reach their goal of donating 100 items to the SPCA! Drop off donations at the Club! 🐈🐩🐈🐩

Teens Give Back 2026 is underway!
This year, teens chose homeless pets as their theme and on Friday, JRC teens held a bake sale/lemonade stand to benefit Caring For Creatures. Thanks to everyone who came out to support their sale!

But wait, there's more!
You can still help JRC teens with their project. They're collecting pet supplies at the Club and at the Food Lion in Scottsville. Or make a cash donation to Caring for Creatures at the Club, at Ralston Law Group in Charlottesville, or at Lucky's in Scottsville.

So proud of these James River Boys & Girls Club members for giving back to their community!

Our 2027 Youth of the Year candidates got together for the first time last night. To begin to clarify their speech and essay themes, Ms. Sigrid led them in an art activity to help them think critically about their journey, and turn their thoughts into something concrete.
It was good to see new and familiar faces around the YOY table. And if their artistic talents are an indicator, this year's group will certainly Lead, Succeed, and Inspire!

Remember this dog that our members painted for Service Dogs of Virginia? It just sold at auction for $8,000! Congrats to Ms. Sigrid and all the members who worked on the piece - that's in a big way!

Congrats to Mel!
She's our Employee Recognition Program honoree for September. And as her nomination explained: Mel has been everywhere for everyone - from driving a bus to covering a group to riding a unicycle!!
Thanks for keeping things rolling - on 4 wheels and 1!

So proud of these Southwood seniors for sharing their Club experience with our Milbank Society members last night. Cipriano (Keystone Treasurer), Ashley (2026 Youth of the Year and Keystone Vice-President), and Jessica (Keystone President) have decades of Club membership between them, and they were arguably the most popular people at the party! Well done!

The 2027 Youth of the Year season is officially underway!
Teens from all six Clubs celebrated at the YOY Kickoff Carnival on Friday. They had lots of chances to Lead, Succeed, and Inspire as they played carnival games, got (temporary) tattoos, and guessed how many pieces of gum were in a jar. The sack race and 4-legged race competitions were fierce! And teens got to take home souvenirs like caricatures by David M. Cook (Artist).
Thanks to Royalty Eats for satisfying those carnival cravings with corndogs and funnel cakes! And thanks to an outstanding team of volunteers from National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) at UVa who kept the games going all night so teens could earn tickets for prizes.
Now that we've indulged in a lot fun and games, the real work of preparing for Youth of the Year begins...
