“School shutdowns during COVID necessitated strong partnerships with our local school districts like Roanoke County to get kids back to school and parents back to work. We are proud to continue our partnership with Roanoke County, and form a new collaboration with Salem City Schools, to provide accessible after-school and summer care for more kids in our region.” — Rebekah Meadows , Senior Director of Programming, BGCSWVA

we grew from 7 to 11 club sites , allowing us to reach more youth with our mission and our message. We strive to ensure that young people in southwest Virginia, especially those who need us most, have what it takes to be the best version of themselves, regardless of their zip code or background.
