Every summer, the Boys & Girls Club of Worcester provides a safe, engaging space where youth can learn, grow, and thrive through enriching programs, mentorship, and life-changing opportunities.

$5,000 | Sponsor a Field Trip
Field trips such as Mystic Aquarium, Roller Kingdom and Southwick Zoo expose youth to new experiences, spark curiosity, and create lasting memories. For many of our members, these trips are their only opportunity to travel outside of Worcester.
