ABOUT US
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Chaffee County was established
in late 2005. The Club was formed in Salida for elementary and middle school
age youth as a result of a merger of two existing programs and an identified
need throughout the County for after school programs. A site was added in Buena Vista in 2007 to address the need for after school
programs, especially among the elementary school children.
How do we accomplish our mission?
More than an after-school hangout, the Clubs
are places where young people come to develop character, to learn the importance of education, develop social skills and new friends, engage in healthy habits and lifestyles, express themselves creatively in art and music, and
participate in sports, recreation and leisure activities.
