Our mission is to nurture the development of our young people & guide them along the path to future success. In 1929, the late Judge Fronefield became alarmed at the increasing number of juvenile delinquency cases coming before the courts and called together a group of Chester’s business and professional men to study conditions and recommend remedies. The result was several small rooms at Third and Kerlin Streets – the Boys’ Club. The Boys’ Club was incorporated in 1930. The Club grew rapidly and in 1933 moved to an old three-story factory building at Front Street and Concord Avenue. During those Depression years, the Club repaired and half-soled shoes for the needy, striving to fill the leisure time of boys at that time with things to do under proper supervision and guidance. From 1956 through most of 2010, the Club was located at 425 Front Street (Front and Fulton Streets) in what was once a filter treatment house on the Chester Water Authority property. In 1978, girls were invited to join the Boys Club, which subsequently became the Boys and Girls Club of Chester. On October 22, 2010, the official grand opening of the George E. Carter Center became the new home of the Boys & Girls Club of Chester. The newly constructed recreation center is located at 201 East 7th Street. Carter Center serves as not only a recreation center, but also a place where youth can learn and grow as individuals through technology, the arts, and educational programming. The 16,600 square foot facility features a computer lab, classroom and tutorial space, locker rooms, indoor basketball courts, a general activities area, and other related amenities.

The Boys & Girls of Chester is more than a place to have fun. It is a place where youth can build a foundation for great futures. Our members gain immersive exposure to different careers, education in STEM, sports & health, and healthy living. BGCC is a place where youth can learn and have fun! One of our core values is to create a home away from home, and with your support, we have been able to do just that.

Thank you to every supporter who invests in our youth's lives by supporting BGCC's mission. Together, we are continuing the work of nurturing our youth toward a great future of success!

It's more than golf 🩵 🏌🏽‍♀️ During our 6th Annual Golf Tournament, we caught up with a few of our golfers to hear why they continue to show up and support the Boys & Girls Club of Chester.

Their responses are a beautiful reminder of the power of community and what happens when people come together for a purpose greater than themselves.

Every swing, every sponsorship, and every act of generosity helps us create more opportunities for Chester’s youth to learn, grow, and build brighter futures.

To everyone who believes in our kids and continues to invest in their potential, thank you! 💙

Now we want to hear from you! What inspires you to give back to your community? Let us know in the comments! 👇

What an incredible experience for the Boys & Girls Club of Chester! 🚢

BGCC youth and staff were honored to be invited to the Norwegian Cruise Line grand opening at PhilaPort, where our young people had the opportunity to experience a special day filled with unforgettable moments.

From sitting front row for a live performance to meeting Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker, connecting with local officials and members of the Norwegian Cruise Line team, our youth were able to experience a world beyond the Club and see firsthand the people, partnerships, and opportunities that help shape our region.

We are also incredibly grateful to Norwegian Cruise Line for their generous donation to BGCC and for continuing to invest in experiences and opportunities for our youth.

Thank you, NCL, for welcoming the Boys & Girls Club of Chester, celebrating our young people, and making us part of such a special occasion. 💙
