Boys & Girls Club of the Northern Neck

Boys & Girls Club of the Northern Neck Our mission is to inspire and enable all young people to reach their full potential. Visit BGCNN.org Capt. Main St in Kilmarnock.

In 2004, several members of the Northern Neck community felt there was a need for a local Boys & Girls Club to serve the needs of the many at risk youth ages 6-18. There was concern that many of the youth who would be involved in the Boys & Girls Club did not have access to character building activities after school, that they return home to empty houses at the end of the school day, do not have h

elp with homework, and are unsupervised until parents/guardians arrive home from work. The Boys & Girls Club leadership group, headed by the late William Knull Jr. USN (Ret.), approached the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Four years later in April 2008, the Boys & Girls Club of the Northern Neck opened its doors to the youth of the Northern Neck community in space provided by the Lancaster County Public Schools within the Lancaster Middle School. In February 2009, after less than a full year of operation, the youth of the Northern Neck community have a Boys & Girls Club facility of their own located at 517 N. This facility currently houses a Club House that includes a large Game-Room, Technology Lab, Art Room, Learning Center, and a Kitchen Area. In October of 2009 a beautiful teen center was constructed. In May of 2011, the old warehouse was converted into a beautiful Education/Recreational Complex that houses a full gym, fitness area, skateboard park, and education/stage area.

💦 Safety first, fun always! 💙

Our Lancaster teens had an amazing day at the YMCA, where they learned valuable water safety skills while building confidence in and around the water. From understanding safe swimming practices to learning how to respond in emergency situations, our teens gained knowledge that can help keep themselves and others safe.

A huge thank you to the YMCA for partnering with us to provide this meaningful experience. Community partnerships like these help us create opportunities that empower our youth, strengthen life skills, and build great futures.
