A Message from Our Leadership

At Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis (BGCSTL), we are committed to providing all youth with a unique and invaluable opportunity. Our safe and positive environment, coupled with a range of programs and services, is designed to foster and enhance their development.  BGCSTL offers more than just a place; it provides a transformative experience. 

As the new President/CEO of BGCSTL, I look forward to serving you.  Thanks to the support of our donors and organizations, the Club is a Positive, Safe Place for kids and teens!  For over fifty years, BGCSTL has provided after-school, teen, sports, and summer programs to youth in the St. Louis area while providing them a safe place to learn, grow, and thrive!  As a Mathews-Dickey Club (MDC) Alum, I am an example of the impact of BGC programs.  I started my BGC journey by attending summer camp.  The Club helped instill a sense of competence, belonging, confidence, and influence.  It was a Club experience and a chance meeting with then-St. Louis Rams Player Toby Wright that gave me the confidence to believe I could play in the NFL.  Chance meetings like this happens often at BGCSTL.  

BGCSTL serves youth across several locations, including (Adams Park Club, Bethalto Club, Hazelwood Elementary School Club, Herbert Hoover Club, Mathews-Dickey Club, and the Teen Center of Excellence).  We also operate Mentor St. Louis and St. Louis Internship Programs.

Members of BGCSTL not only benefit individually from our services but also contribute to the betterment of our region for generations to come.  We collaborate with local organizations to address community challenges, ensuring every child in our region has a path to success.  This vision is only achievable with the continued commitment, generosity, and enthusiasm of our many partners.  We thank you for your support in reaching those who need our services the most.

Let’s not stop here. With your continued support, we can keep the momentum going and continue to make a difference in the lives of our youth.

Together – Great Futures Start Here!

Sincerely,

Brandon Williams
