Boys & Girls Clubs of Weld County

Boys & Girls Clubs of Weld County The Boys & Girls Clubs of Weld County opened its doors in Greeley, CO in 1964, serving a few young men out of an old tire shop.

Founded in 1964, and with 6 sites across Weld County, we serve over 400 youth every day with a mission to inspire & enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens. At the time it provided a safe place for young men to go and learn basic skills, such as how to change the oil in a car and clean a carburetor. To

day the Boys & Girls Clubs of Weld County operates two main units in the city of Greeley, each serving up to 150 boys and girls ages 6-18. The Clubs also operate two school-based sites in rural communities, outside of the city: Galeton and Milliken; both serving up to 50 young people daily. The biggest difference between 1964 and 2011 is not the number of youth we serve or the number of sites we have, but more importantly, how we serve the young people of this community. We believe that if we are going to truly make an impact on the youth of this community, we must recognize that academic success along with life skills development is imperative in the quest to break the generational poverty cycle. Of the 1,514 youth we served in 2010, more than 50% of the members were from single parent families and more than 70% were on the free and reduced lunch plans at school.

Our teens had an incredible behind-the-scenes experience at the Swire Coca-Cola facility in Johnstown!

During their visit, they explored how a large-scale operation runs—from warehouse logistics to daily workflows—and heard directly from professionals about their career journeys. One powerful takeaway? The value of growth over time and how staying committed to a career path can open doors to leadership and long-term success.

Experiences like this help our Club teens build confidence, expand their vision for the future, and see what’s possible when they stay curious and committed to their goals. 💡

A huge thank you to our partners at Swire Coca-Cola for investing in our youth and creating meaningful, real-world learning opportunities that inspire Great Futures.

This week, our team hit the road Accelerating Impact—preparing to create safe, engaging spaces for every Club member.

We focused on trauma-informed care, building trusted relationships, and creating a strong sense of belonging. Staff practiced classroom management strategies, emergency preparedness, and using their voice to bring solutions and support one another, and our members.

We can’t wait to kick off summer next week! See ya there! 🌟

While in Texas for the Youth of the Year Regional Competition, Jesse had the opportunity to visit the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza—an impactful space that explores the life, leadership, and legacy of President John F. Kennedy and the history of the 1960s.

Through experiences like this, Jesse is gaining new perspectives and continuing to grow as a thoughtful and engaged leader. He is also building meaningful connections with fellow Youth of the Year candidates from across the region—creating relationships rooted in shared experiences, leadership, and inspiration.
