Who We Are » Our Mission & General Policies

Our Mission

To inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.

The Boys & Girls Club of Northern Westchester helps members build self-esteem by incorporating a proven youth development strategy in all of our programs and services. This strategy instills:

• A sense of competence — feeling that there is something every member can do well.
• A sense of usefulness — the opportunity to do something of value for other people.
• A sense of belonging — in a setting where members know they are welcome and accepted.
• A sense of power or influence — a chance to be heard and to help influence decisions.
