Welcome to Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Illinois.

For more than a century, Boys & Girls Clubs have stood as a trusted place where young people are safe, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential. Here in Southern Illinois, that mission is more important than ever.

Every day, our Clubs provide opportunities for children and teens to learn, grow, and thrive—academically, socially, and emotionally. We are committed to meeting young people where they are, responding to the evolving needs of our communities, and ensuring every child has access to high-quality programming, caring mentors, and a sense of belonging.

None of this work happens alone. It is made possible through the dedication of our staff, the leadership of our Board, the generosity of our donors, and the trust of families and community partners who believe in our mission.

Thank you for visiting our website and for being part of a movement to help all young people become “Future Ready”. Together, we are building stronger youth, stronger families, and stronger communities across Southern Illinois.

With gratitude and purpose,

Dr. LaShonda Hubert
Chief Executive Officer
Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Illinois
