Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Ohio

“Would you rather own a restaurant or work in one?” 🤔🥪

Our Newark Club members had some thoughts.

As part of , they explored future careers, shared how Boys & Girls Clubs prepares them for what’s next, and, perhaps most importantly, got very excited about making their own subs. 💙

Because great futures don’t just happen. They start here.

Thank you for a great day, Jimmy John's!

Kicking off Boys & Girls Club Week with an inspiring visit from Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Brian Asamoah! 🏈✨

Today, Brian spent time with youth at our Champion Companies Milo-Grogan Clubhouse, sharing stories about growing up in Columbus, pursuing his dreams through football, and the importance of planning for life beyond the game. Most importantly, he spoke about giving back to the community that helped shape him.

As we celebrate "What Clubs Mean to Me" and today's "Future Ready Day" theme, Brian reminded our members that success isn't just about what you accomplish ... it's about how you use those accomplishments to make a difference for others.

Thank you, Brian, for investing in our youth and showing them that great futures truly start now. 💙

A day of fun, fellowship, and celebration. ❤️💚🖤

Thank you to Besa for hosting a party at our Champion Companies Milo-Grogan Clubhouse! Club kids and staff had a blast, and even Franklin County Director of Economic Engagement & Community Development Andrena Austin joined in the fun.

We're grateful to commemorate Juneteenth in the community and appreciate Besa for making this special day possible.

Mission accomplished. 🐘🦒✨

Thank you to the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium for giving our Club kids a footprint-wide adventure they’ll remember for years to come! 💙

Wild memories were made today! 🦁🐧🐠

Club kids from across our sites headed to the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium, but not before Lead Success Coach Tyann Craig had a few important questions. 😄

By the end, she realized she was left behind with the adults and wasn’t quite sure what to do next. 😂

Needless to say, the kids had an unforgettable day of adventure, discovery, and fun!

The best summer memories aren't always the big moments. Sometimes they're the laughs shared with friends, trying something new, and simply having a place where you belong.

We're grateful to spend another summer creating those moments with the young people at our Milo-Grogan Club. ☀️💙

Here's to a season full of friendships, fun, and memories that will last long after summer ends.

South Side wrapped up the school year with a birthday celebration for every member who celebrated a birthday this year, complete with games, music, cake, ice cream, and Donatos. 🎉🍕
 
Now, summer is officially underway! ☀️
 
From the Reeb Center Summer Kickoff and Triple Play games to team-building activities, creative challenges, and learning new camp routines, members are building friendships, practicing responsibility, and making the most of every day at the Club.

We can’t wait to see what the rest of the summer brings. 💙
