Since 1977, BGC Winnipeg has provided programming directly to children and youth in vulnerable neighbourhoods. BGC Winnipeg has grown to become one of the city’s leading youth-serving agencies, operating in areas across Winnipeg that need our services the most. We operate community-based Clubs and numerous youth development programs to our members, offering fun safe activities during the evening and after-school hours.

FREE community-based services. Positive relationships. Life-changing programs. We provide safe, supportive places where all kids and teens, of all backgrounds, can experience new opportunities, overcome barriers, and develop confidence and skills for life. From anti-racism to Reconciliation to LGBTQ2S+, food security to scholarships to job readiness, our Clubs battle systemic issues with systemic solutions—equity, acceptance, support, opportunity. Opportunity Changes Everything.

What We Do

Our agency focuses on the well-being of children and youth by teaching them the importance of healthy living, personal growth and social development. With positive role models and mentors at the forefront of our Clubs and programs, children and youth have the opportunity to achieve their full potential in a safe and facilitated environment.

The essence of our work is through a preventative and developmental approach to tackling a broad range of critical issues facing young people today. This is accomplished through five core program areas promoting healthy development:

• Sport, Recreation, & Physical Activity
• Arts & Cultural Appreciation
• Education & Career Exploration
• Health Awareness & Life-Skills
• Leadership & Service to Community

A wide variety of activities and programs are offered at each Club, tailored to meet the diverse needs and interests of all members.
