What We Offer

As a member of the Boys & Girls Club of Manhattan, your child can participate in a unique organization that delivers programs at fourteen Club locations in Manhattan and Wamego. Our purpose is to provide caring, adult professionals and a safe place for youth to learn and grow where hope and opportunity is provided through life-enhancing programs and character development experiences.

Our Early Learning Center is designed to provide a nurturing and engaging start for our youngest club members starting at six weeks of age. With interactive play areas, an age-appropriate educational program, and a team of dedicated and experienced staff, we're setting the foundation for a lifetime of learning and success. 
 
Before school, after school and during the summer months the Boys & Girls Club of Manhattan engages members in fun and educational activities that help develop a sound moral compass and influence their ability to succeed in life. As the needs of our families and children continue to change, so will the dynamics of our programs and services. We serve nearly 1,400 children annually with our twelve units.
 
* The Annual year starts at the beginning of the Calendar year.
