After School + Boys & Girls Club =GREAT FUTURES
Our Mission
To enable young people, especially those who needs us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens.
The Boys & Girls Club of East Aurora continues to play a vital role as our youth and communities move forward by creating opportunities for our young people to thrive.
About The Club
The Club is an after-school Social Recreation Program for youth in 2nd-12th grades. It differs from the School Age Daycare Program, which offers year-round care Kindergarten through 4th grade. Once you have completed your child's membership registration, they can attend the Club as much or as little as they like and participate in any of the programs we are currently offering.
The Club has an open-door policy, which means members can come and go at will. However, for the safety of our 2nd-4th grade members, we do not allow them to sign out and walk the village once they arrive. For middle school age members and above we highly recommend that once your child arrives at the Club, they remain at the Club until their parent/guardian picks them up or they walk home. Please have a conversation with your child on whether or not you want them signing out and walking around the village once they check into the Club.
For your convenience, busing is provided from Parkdale Elementary to the Club. You can make arrangements for busing by contacting the Transportation Coordinator at Parkdale at 716-687-2353.
