BGC Canada’s mission is to provide safe, supportive places where children and youth can experience new opportunities, overcome barriers, build positive relationships, and develop confidence and skills for life. As Canada’s largest child and youth-serving charitable organization, our Clubs open their doors to almost 150,000 young people of all ages and their families annually at over 600 locations nationwide. During out-of-school hours our staff and volunteers provide programs and services that help young people realize positive outcomes in self-expression, academics, healthy living, physical activity, job readiness, mental wellness, social development, leadership, and more.
