What a summer it’s been! As our campers wrapped up another exciting week with a trip to the Bronx Zoo, we’re taking a moment to celebrate the incredible community that made it all possible.

A heartfelt thank you to our generous donors, dedicated volunteers, community partners, and community champions like the Knights of Columbus, whose generosity has given so many children an unforgettable summer.

Because of your support, our campers have enjoyed weekly swimming, trips to the movies, Sportime USA, the Bronx Zoo, a citywide kickball tournament, inspiring guest speakers, creative activities, leadership opportunities, and so much more. And we’re not done yet…there’s still more summer fun ahead!

A special thank you to our amazing Boys & Girls Club of Mount Vernon staff. Your passion, energy, and commitment make every day a safe, fun, and memorable experience for the children we serve.

Together, we’re doing more than creating a great summer. We’re building confidence, creating lifelong memories, and helping young people discover their potential.

Thank you to everyone who gave, volunteered, and believed in our mission. Because of you, our campers are making memories that will last a lifetime. ❤️☀️

We are proud to honor three outstanding members of the Greater Hudson Valley - NY Chapter of The Links, Incorporated for their unwavering commitment to improving the lives of children and families throughout our community.

The Links is an international not-for-profit organization of accomplished women dedicated to friendship and service. Since 1990, the Greater Hudson Valley Chapter has expanded its reach beyond the Hudson Valley to Dutchess, Putnam, Rockland, and Westchester counties, creating meaningful change through innovative programs and community partnerships.

Their work supports youth development, education, the arts, health and wellness, and civic engagement. At the Boys & Girls Club of Mount Vernon NY, we have been fortunate to partner with The Links for more than a decade on impactful initiatives including our Healthy Snacks & Dinner Program, Gardening Program, College Prep and HBCU Tours, scholarship opportunities, holiday celebrations, and other enriching experiences that have positively shaped the lives of the children we serve.

This year, we will recognize Felita Y. Granby, President, along with Janice A. Dye Owens and Brigette R. McLeod-Williams for their extraordinary leadership, generosity, and years of dedicated service to our youth.

Join us on Monday, September 14, at the Boys & Girls Club of Mount Vernon’s Golf & Leisure Experience as we celebrate these remarkable women while raising critical funds to support the children and teens we serve.

Whether you join us on the golf course, enjoy a day of leisure activities, or attend our cocktails and dinner reception, your participation will help create brighter futures for the next generation.

Sponsorship opportunities are still available, and tickets are on sale now. We hope you’ll join us!

It's been a busy few weeks at camp! We kept up our Knicks fever on Jersey Day, with our kids representing their favorite sports teams and players 🏀🏈⚽️ The Mount Vernon Police Department also paid us a visit and brought us some ice pops to help keep cool (special thanks to Captain Terry!) 🧊🧊 We hosted Ray Negron and Billy Pickney for a meet and greet with our campers, as well as for a screening of their documentary BATBOY ⚾️🎥🧢

We also continued our partnership with Bake Back America and made cards for children at the Ronald McDonald house. Special thanks to Melissa Brown and Gabe Gross (project leader and BGCMV lifeguard!) who led this incredible meaningful project that served our fellow youth.💌✏️🖍️ Bake Back America made the day even sweeter by sponsoring our Ice Cream Social! Yum! 🍦

And it's still just July! Gotta run, we've got some field trips coming up, too!

This week, a group of our teens proudly represented the Boys & Girls Club of Mount Vernon at the 2026 Summit for America’s Youth in Washington, D.C.!

During the Summit, they presented their TLC: Think, Learn, Create projects and traveled to Capitol Hill, where they spoke with representatives from the offices of U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and Senator Chuck Schumermer and met with Congressman George Latimer.

Approximately 350 young people from 82 Boys & Girls Clubs were selected to attend the Summit, representing more than 4 million Club youth nationwide.

We are extremely proud of our teens and the confidence, leadership, and professionalism they demonstrated throughout the week. They represented themselves, their families, and our Club exceptionally well!

They also had the opportunity to explore our nation’s capital, visiting the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, the Lincoln Memorial, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Jefferson Memorial, and several other historic landmarks. We ended the trip with a tour of the historic HBCU, Howard University.

A special thank-you to Mr. Mel and Ms. Kerry for chaperoning the trip, and to Ms. Sara for the guidance and support she provides to our teens throughout the year!

School’s out, and what a year it has been! 🚌✨
The past few weeks at the Boys & Girls Club of Mount Vernon have been filled with celebration, service, leadership, and preparation for an exciting summer ahead.

Our members closed out the school year by putting character and leadership into action through community service projects, including a youth-led recycling initiative inspired by Giving Tuesday. Members collected bottles and cans, brought them to a local recycling depot, and chose to donate the proceeds to support others in need. Through this hands-on project, our youth practiced teamwork, communication, environmental responsibility, financial decision-making, and the true meaning of philanthropy.

We are especially proud to celebrate Ava G., 18, and Rushane K., 16, who received the Community Service Leadership Award from the Greater Hudson Valley - NY Chapter of The Links, Incorporated on June 12, 2026. What an incredible recognition of their service, compassion, and leadership!

We also had the joy of welcoming back alumni Billy Thomas and Milton Collins, who stopped by to visit and reconnect with the Club community. Once a Club kid, always part of the Club family. 💙

And while we are excited for summer, we also said a heartfelt goodbye to our Front Desk Coordinator, Cole. We thank him for his service and wish him the very best in his next chapter.

This after-school year has been full of growth, memories, and meaningful moments. Now, we are ready for the Summer Camp! ☀️🚀

Imagine being the reason a child experiences the best summer of their life.

While some families plan vacations and summer activities, others are simply trying to ensure their children have a safe place to go, nutritious meals to eat, and caring adults looking out for them while they work.

That is where the Boys & Girls Club of Mount Vernon, NY steps in.

Each year, we provide seven weeks of an enriching environment filled with adventure, learning, and friendship.

Summer camp opens doors. Many children who first join us during the summer return in the fall and become year-round Club members. What begins as a summer camp experience often becomes a life-changing connection to mentors, opportunities, and a community that believes in them.

Can you help make that possible?

Any gift will directly support our Summer Program.

With camp quickly approaching, many families need assistance to enroll their kids. There's no time like the present to sponsor a child.

When you give, you're doing more than funding a program.

You're giving a child a place to belong, a parent peace of mind, a young person memories that will last a lifetime.

Be the reason a child smiles this summer.
