Every child’s story is unique—different schools, neighborhoods, families, and dreams—but they come together at Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota and DeSoto Counties. The Club is a place where young people belong, learn, and grow year-round through school-year and summer programs. Here, they build lasting friendships, strengthen academic skills, discover new interests, and gain the confidence to pursue their goals.

Within the Club’s walls are tomorrow’s teachers, entrepreneurs, skilled tradespeople, community leaders, and neighbors who will help shape the future of Sarasota and DeSoto Counties. Investing in Club kids today means investing in stronger communities tomorrow. Because while every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, they can’t do it alone. Right now, Club kids need caring adults, supporters, and advocates to help them build brighter futures.
