Recognizing that all youth are at risk, the Boys & Girls Club of Newton inspires and enables over 700 young people, every year to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. The Boys & Girls Club of Newton focuses on the six core program areas of arts, education, leadership, sports, fitness and technology, to keep kids, ages 6 to 18, safe, engaged and learning when not in school.
