The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Kalamazoo are accessible to the whole family through a variety of programs that are inclusive to parent and child. Childhood development is a family affair. Parenting and life skills programs help parents take an active roll in their child’s life.

FAMILY SUPPORT SERVICES PROGRAMS:

Family Support Program
The Clubs’ Family Support Program is offered free of charge to all parents and guardians, regardless if they have a child who is a member of the Boys & Girls Club. Its free monthly workshops concentrate on subjects such as parenting education, health and life skills, budgeting, stress management, resume development and family dynamics.

Parent Advisory Council
Open to all parents and guardians, this monthly council meets to discuss special events, fundraisers, and issues facing our youth.

Fathers Taking Action (FTA)

Dinner is provided as well as activities such as field trips, basketball tournaments, movies nights and other fun activities.
