The Boys & Girls Club played a significant role in assisting me in moving forward and being successful. With the support and motivation of my foster parent, my teachers, and the staff at the Club, I have transformed into a new person who has the desire and ability to go to college and seek a career in social work.Kim Hines, Whatcom County 2014 Youth of the Year
“I’ve journeyed through elementary, middle, and high school facing many obstacles. I’m near college graduation and I always credit the Boys & Girls Club for supporting me through my adolescence and as a young adult. I cannot picture where I would be in my life without the life lessons and experiences I’ve gained being a Club member.”Vang Le, Whatcom County & Washington State 2010 Youth of the Year
“Everything you’ve seen or heard about me began with lessons I learned to live by at the Club.”Denzel Washington, Actor, BGCA Spokesperson
“Like many Club alumni, I can honestly say I don’t know where I’d be today without the Club. Thanks to Boys & Girls Clubs from the bottom of my heart, for all you have done for me, and for so many others.”Jennifer Lopez, Actress, BGCA Spokesperson
“I always go back to lessons learned at the Club. We discovered there was something higher than ourselves, and that giving back to others was what really mattered.”Gen. Wesley Clark, Retired General of the United States Army

The kids at the Boys & Girls Club enjoy the tech programs we have to offer, especially the computer game Stride Academy. At the Blaine Club, the members are practicing math, reading, and writing by answering questions and playing games. The games are designed to test the skills they've learned, such as critical thinking, problem solving, and time management. Thank you Chris (Program Staff) for teaching and helping us learn!
