Boys and Girls Club of North Lake Tahoe

The Boys and Girls Club provides quality out-of-school programs in the North Lake Tahoe area. Its mission is to inspire and empower all youth to reach for their full potential.

Hosting brick-and-mortar clubs in Truckee, Kings Beach, and Incline Village, the Boys & Girls Club chapters in North Lake Tahoe provide a safe haven for kids outside of school hours. The club’s fun, structured environment has created a refuge for kids since 1998 and continues to engage and facilitate a positive environment for around 1,800 young people per year.

Its Great Futures Start Here Impact Formula is simple: Take young people and add an outcome-driven club experience consisting of regular attendance, targeted programs, and high-yield activities, and that equates to academic success, developing good character, and living healthier lifestyles.

COVID-19 has been an especially challenging time for working parents who are trying to accommodate kids on a distance-learning model, and this is where the club has really excelled. It offers a full-day program at its Kings Beach and Truckee locations where volunteers provide meals and educational support for students in grades K-12 who are enrolled in the Tahoe Truckee Unified School District. In Incline Village, the club provides an after-school program for children in grades K-5.
