Since 1907, as the founding Boys & Girls Club in the state, Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Manchester (BGCGM) continues to deepen the impact of our work to provide a comprehensive and inclusive after-school program for kids in our community, as well as a summer day camp experience in Bedford, NH. Our goal for 2026 is to continue fulfilling our mission to reach out to all youth, especially those who need us most, inspiring them to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring individuals. In addition, we will be opening a new location for families on the West Side of the city at the Mark Stebbins Community Center. We will fulfill both these goals by providing programs to kids where there are no barriers to membership and no limits to what our kids can achieve.

BGCGM’s signature event is our Annual Foundation of Friends Breakfast. This year’s inspirational event will happen on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, and is a one-hour morning program. We will share highlights from the past year and mission moments from members, volunteers and donors. 2026 will mark our twenty-fourth year hosting this event for nearly 600 guests. BGCGM also hosts a Speaker Series Luncheon, which appeals to the corporate community, focusing on enhancing professional development by featuring inspiring and motivational keynote speakers. Held inside our Club, this one-hour presentation attracts more than 200 business professionals from the Greater
Manchester community. Lunch is provided, as well as an opportunity for networking. For more information about events and sponsorship opportunities, visit bgcgm.org/sponsorships.
BGCGM is always accepting donations through our website, mail or telephone. We have numerous opportunities throughout the year for individuals and corporations to support our Club. In addition to the events listed above, we also participate in NH Gives, which supports scholarships for kids who attend Camp Foster. Contributions can also be made to any of our financial aid scholarships, for before/after-school programming at the Club or higher education. During the fall and winter months, we partner with businesses to provide Holiday Help, offering meals and gifts to members and their families. BGCGM also collaborates with community partners who are interested in hosting their own fundraisers in support of BGCGM. To learn more about the Club and giving opportunities, we invite you to attend an Evolution Tour of the Clubhouse or Camp Foster. For more information, please contact our director of development, Hashira Rodriguez, at hrodriguez@bgcgm.org.
We love volunteers and are always looking for individuals, groups and corporations to invest their time, talent and treasure to our kids. Volunteer opportunities range from working directly with the kids in one of the many program areas, to participating at events, or helping clean the Club or Camp Foster.
