This year we are celebrating 35 years of serving children and youth in Charlottetown and we've come a long way from the tiny little Clubhouse on Eden Street.

If you're a new follower, let us introduce ourselves. We are a non-profit organization dedicated to meeting the needs of children, youth, and families in our community. We are a member of the largest youth serving agency in Canada. Boys & Girls Clubs across the country open their doors to all children and youth and develop programs that uniquely serve the needs of their local communities.

We run after-school, summer camp, day camp, and specialty skills programming for school aged children as well as after-school, drop-in, skill-building, and leadership programs for teens. Each one of these programs are developed with individual needs in mind and are mutlifaceted and layered with unique opportunities for youth.

Follow along to learn more about how we work towards our mission of helping youth overcome barriers and reach their full potential! Swipe to see what our Clubhouses look like today (we've expanded to Montague too!)

Thankful for warm fall days in October when we can make birds nests from sticks we scavenged in the lovely woods beside Parkdale school! 🍁🍂

Please welcome to the Boys & Girls Club of Charlottetown team - Avery Hillstrom! We are so excited to have Avery take on the role of Site Supervisor for our Charlottetown location. Avery has recently moved back to PEI after completing a Bachelor of Education at Mount Saint Vincent University and is excited to be using her passion for helping young people grow by developing programs and supporting children and youth at our Club. Avery is already fitting in perfectly and we can't wait to see what sort of amazingness she will bring to our after-school and summer camp programs.

One of our Pillars of Member Engagement is Health

One of our Pillars of Member Engagement is Health & Wellness and we are always looking for creative and unique ways to encourage physical activity, healthy eating and mental health.
.
Our @ctjumpstart Yoga for Youth Program introduced our members to a different kind of physical activity.
.
Many eagerly participated in this program each week with several kids trying it out for the first time!
.
This program was an excellent opportunity each week to stretch the body and slow the mind. .
We even got to visit a real yoga studio, our neighbours @stride.pei The experience was super memorable for those who had become practiced yogis over the course of the Yoga for Youth Program
.
Thank you to @ctjumpstart for making this program possible, our staff Maria for facilitating the amazing yoga sessions and to Mel at @stride.pei for hosting us at the studio for two incredible classes!

One of our Pillars of Member Engagement is Educati

One of our Pillars of Member Engagement is Education and Skills Enrichment. We often talk about this in terms of our Literacy and curriculum based programs but ESE goes beyond these traditional ways of learning and development.
.
A few years ago we developed a partnership with Geneva Villa, a local Seniors Home just a short walk from our Clubhouse.
.
We have visited the home on several occasions. Made cards for the residents on Holidays and even gone caroling to the home at Christmas.
.
This year, our older group started visiting the home twice a month. They take a box of games, cards, and crafts to do with the residents.
.
The visits are helping our members develop conversation skills, increasing their confidence in their abilities, and giving them an opportunity for intergenerational learning.
.
The visits also give the residents some important social time.
.
Thank you to Geneva Villa for this valuable partnership!
