BGC Durham(formerly the Boys and Girls Club of Durham)

BGC Durham has provided recreational and social development programs in Durham Region since 1963. Our Club serves thousands of children and youth each year with programs that address a variety of needs in the community including aquatics, physical activity, mental health, life skills, leadership and more. We are constantly adding new programs to address arising needs – if a young person needs it, our Club can provide it. 

BGC Durham’s trained staff and volunteers foster a safe and supportive atmosphere where children and youth can learn, participate, grow and prepare themselves for the future. 

BGC Durham offers a wide range of programs for children ages 4 to 18 across the Durham Region giving them a place to belong for their own benefit. As of September 2024, there will be 15 locations throughout the Durham Region that offer our After School Programs. We also offer youth in the Durham Region a safe and stimulating place where they can connect with friends, receive academic support, and take part in sports and other physical activities. Youth can also receive employment support and training, gain leadership skills, and give back to their community.
