Boys and Girls Club of Northtowns

For over 80 years the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Northtowns have been providing afterschool programming to youth ages 6-18 in Buffalo, the Town of Tonawanda and Cities of Tonawanda and North Tonawanda. All 12 of our clubs provide quality programming for more than 3,000 boys and girls in the areas of character and leadership development; educational enhancement; career preparation; health and life skills; the arts; and sports, fitness and recreation. Each day our kids are provided with hot meals.

Mission-To inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need us the most, to reach their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.

Part of the Triple Play suite of programs, Healthy Habits teaches youth about healthy eating. In 14 progressive sessions for each age group, young people develop skills, confidence and motivation to make nutrition choices that support an overall healthy lifestyle.

Please join us for our Healthy Harvest, activity for kids. It will take place from 3-6 p.m.
