Boys and Girls Club of Harlem

For over 40 years, the Boys & Girls Club of Harlem has proudly served the youth and community of Harlem. Boys & Girls Club of Harlem fills the gap between school and home by providing a positive, welcoming environment where kids and teens can have fun, participate in life-changing programs, and build supportive relationships with peers and caring adults.  Join us on Tuesday, October 11, for our fundraising golf classic event at the private and illustrious Paramount Country Club at 60 Zukor Road, New City, New York.  Sponsors, Auction Items, and Donations are still being accepted.

We are incredibly honored to have received an award and proclamation from the Manhattan Borough President this past February! Huge thanks to everyone who supports the Boys & Girls Club—this recognition is a testament to the impact we make together.

The Boys & Girls Club of Harlem Mourns the Loss of Dr. Hazel N. Dukes The Boys and Girls Club of Harlem joins the Harlem community and the nation in mourning the loss of our beloved neighbor, friend, and civil rights icon, Dr. Hazel N. Dukes, President of the NAACP New York State Conference. For more than 70 years, Dr. Dukes dedicated her life to the fight for justice and racial equality. A fierce advocate for voter protection and civic engagement, she championed the empowerment of young people, ensuring they had the tools and opportunities to shape their futures. Dr. Dukes had a profound commitment to education, founding the Dr. Hazel N. Dukes Education Initiative, which supports children from birth through K-12 in accessing high-quality education. Through her leadership, the NAACP Connect All Kids initiative promoted college and career readiness, expanding STEM programs to equip youth with the skills necessary for success. Beyond her national impact, Dr. Dukes remained a tireless advocate for the Harlem community she called home. Her unwavering dedication to uplifting young people and ensuring equitable access to education and opportunity has left an indelible mark on generations to come. Today, the Boys and Girls Club of Harlem honors Dr. Dukes' legacy and joins in the collective outpouring of condolences. We remain steadfast in our commitment to carrying forward her mission, providing Harlem’s youth with the support, resources, and opportunities to reach their full potential as future leaders and changemakers.

Connecting, inspiring, and growing together! The Boys & Girls Club of Harlem had an amazing time at the 2025 Nonprofit Board and Volunteer Showcase hosted by the Tamer Institute for Social Enterprise and Climate Change. This event was a fantastic opportunity to network with students and alumni, recruit passionate volunteers, and build meaningful connections within the nonprofit community. Grateful for the chance to share our mission and meet so many incredible changemakers! #BGCHarlem #TamerInstitute #NonprofitLeadership #MakingConnections
