ABOUT US

 

Since it's opening in 1999, the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Gila Valley has strived to contribute to youth development in the Graham County area. The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Gila Valley currently serves more than 200 youths at its clubhouse located at 805 S. Seventh Ave. in Safford. Our programs are offered year-round and are safe, fun and affordable for all youth.

The Boys & Girls Club of The Gila Valley provides a safe location where children and young adults can grow, learn and achieve a sense of compassion. We are involved in our community and support the functions of the various cities that we serve. Community Service is embraced and encouraged, with our Members averaging over 200 hours in one year. We provide our staff with the opportunity to grow professionally and personally, while allowing them to learn skills that will be used in their own futures. We strive to stop the use of drugs in our community before they start, through education, and by providing positive examples. We do our very best to make our location a place of fun for the children of the Gila Valley.
