Our

Mission

& Values

TO SUPPORT, ENABLE, AND DEVELOP YOUTH AND TEENS TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL.

All young people have the potential to succeed. However, not all young people get the support and mentorship they need to thrive. Club alumni say that without Club intervention by caring adult mentors, they often would have made choices that could undermine their future.


Children need to have a place where they are physically and emotionally safe. In addition to providing a caring environment, we offer daily access to a broad range of programs that promote the education, health, social character, service and leadership of the youth we serve.


Our

Focus

We never take a single approach to help kids succeed. We provide caring mentors, innovative quality programs, and a safe environment designed to empower to excel in school and lead healthy, productive lives. We do whatever it takes to ensure all kids have a great future.


A Place to

Learn & Grow

Providing safe and fun place for kids to grow and thrive. We provide a refuge where kids can feel secure, relax, learn—and dream.

Life-Enhancing Programs

We provide a variety of engaging programs focused on academics, health, and leadership designed to help our youth succeed.

Caring

Mentors

At the OABGC, we provide trained staff who guide, coach, and motivate kids to be successful as they dare to reach for their dreams.

WHO WE ARE
