Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade has been serving youth in the community since 1940. What once was a single building and site for boys has grown to five Clubs serving thousands of boys and girls year-round. These clubs offer programming in the character and leadership development, educational enhancement, career preparation, health and life skills, cultural arts and sports, fitness and recreation. Our mission is to enable young people, especially those who need it most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens.
For more than 15 years, Carnival Foundation has been supporting Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade by providing a yearly grant which supports our Project Learn program. This important program offers high-quality after-school services for children aged 5–16. Youth enjoy core programming such as homework assistance, arts & crafts, literacy and social skills. Additional exciting programs include music instruction, karate, dance, and intramural sports. The program runs alongside Miami-Dade County Public Schools’ schedule, and our Clubs are also open on teacher planning days and spring break.
In order to keep our youth active in a healthy, safe, productive and fun environment, our after-school academic program and homework assistance, organized league basketball, baseball, football, and cheerleading programs are offered year-round.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade is now offering “Virtual Clubs.” All five “Virtual Clubs” are now accepting new youth members. Youth members can participate in fun virtual activities including story time, STEM, arts and crafts, physical fitness, yoga, homework assistance, mentoring, social-emotional learning, “virtual get-togethers” and much more. All activities are conducted via Zoom and schedules vary by Club and age group.
