Since 1995, the Boys & Girls Club of Brown County strives to improve each child’s life by implementing self-esteem, courage, and positive values through educational programs. Local youth come to the Boys & Girls Club to receive tutoring, computer training, sports education, homework help, and mentoring. 

With its low dues and long operating hours, the Boys & Girls Club gives kids ages 6 to 18 a constructive after-school environment while also giving parents flexibility and peace of mind. The club’s summer hours help kids stay out of trouble and continue their education. The summer program is especially helpful for single parents in need of care for their children while they work.

The Boys & Girls Club facility, located at the former South Elementary campus in Brownwood, includes a dedicated study space with tutors, a computer lab, an art room, a movie room, a basketball gym and more.
