BGC Rusk County
The Positive Place where all youth are safe and valued
Making a Difference
In every community, boys and girls are left to find their own recreation and companionship. Many children are at home with no adult care or supervision. Young people need to know that someone cares about them. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Rusk County offers that and more. Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of all youth by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging, and influence.
Thanks to the support we receive from many donors and organizations, the Club where Great Future Start! For over twenty years, BGRC has provided after-school, teen, sports, and summer programs to youth in Rusk County while providing a safe place to learn and grow. The Clubs serve youth across the region at three locations, Boys & Girls Club Robertson, Wylie Elementary, and Boys & Girls Club Kilgore Unit.
