To build a stronger state, young people need environments where they feel valued. We are celebrating Minnesota Boys & Girls Clubs Week to amplify the power of a unified movement for youth. Club members, staff, alumni, and local champions are joining hands to showcase our collective impact, where 92% of members state they feel accepted for who they are. Kicking off statewide June 22-27 inside every single MN Club location.

When schools close, free breakfast and lunch programs vanish. Minnesota Boys & Girls Clubs launch comprehensive summer food assistance programs to ensure no child goes hungry. Youth in high-need neighborhoods rely on this regular access. By executing federal programs and local partnerships, Club sites across the nation provided 9.5 million summer meals and 7 million snacks. Active every day this summer at designated Club meal sites.
