Great Futures Start Here
Boys & Girls Clubs of the Capital Area (BGCCA) has been serving Albany and Rensselaer counties for well over a century. The Albany Club first open in 1892, seven years prior to the arrival of the first automobile to city, in 1899. The Club in Troy, NY opened shortly after, in 1903.
BGCCA is the largest provider of after-school activities focused on academic achievement, character & leadership, healthy life skills, The Arts, and fitness & recreation. Every gift to The Club is an investment in the future of Capital Area youth! Your donation can help provide area children with a safe place to go after school as well as exposure to mentoring, special programs, sports activities and so much more.
Every $1 invested in Boys & Girls Clubs returns $10.32 in economic benefits to Club members, their families and society. These include social benefits, such as mental health, education and healthy behaviors, not accounted for in a purely financial ROI.
BGCCA offers numerous ways to donate and support the youth of our community. Scroll down to see them all.
Gifts by mail may be sent to: BGCCA, 21 Delaware Ave, Albany, NY 12210.
