About Us

Since 2014, the Boys & Girls Club of the Hatchie River Region has fulfilled its mission of enabling all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. Our organization serves over 150 youth through membership and community outreach during the year, and 75 youth through low-cost programming during the summer. Our Club offers daily access to a broad range of programs in five core program areas (Character and Leadership Development; Education and Career Development; Health and Life Skills; The Arts; and Sports, Fitness and Recreation) and several specialized initiatives.

All programs are designed to drive positive outcomes for youth and reinforce necessary life skills. We provide a safe, structured and supervised environment where children between the ages of 5 and 18 years old can learn, play and grow after school until 6 p.m. and during the summer from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Club members participate in a variety of programs and activities that promote good character, academic success, personal responsibility, exploration and fun. While at the Club, members are placed in age-appropriate groups and have scheduled time in each of our program areas, ensuring they receive a fulfilling, well-rounded after-school experience. Two of our club members have been ambassadors for the WWE’s bullying prevention program. These club members received a 1,500 scholarship each for their participation.

Our Club has been in the forefront of youth development, working with young people from disadvantaged economic, social and family circumstances in Covington and Tipton County. The Boys & Girls Club of the Hatchie River Region has actively sought to enrich the lives of girls and boys whom other youth agencies have had difficulty in reaching. We are dedicated to ensuring that our community's disadvantaged youngsters have greater access to quality programs and services that will enhance their lives and shape their future.
