At Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeast Virginia (BGCSEVA), every program is designed with purpose — to help young people grow into confident, capable, and caring individuals. Guided by Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s Formula for Impact, our approach provides a holistic path to youth development that nurtures healthy habits, self-esteem, independence, and positive relationships.
Across our nine Club locations, members engage in outcome-driven programs built around six core areas:
- Character & Leadership Development
- Health & Life Skills
- The Arts
- Sports, Fitness & Recreation
- Education & Career Development
- Workforce Readiness
Together, these areas create opportunities for every child to discover their passions, strengthen their skills, and unlock their potential.
Our programs are designed to achieve three key outcomes:
- Academic Success – empowering youth to learn, achieve, and prepare for future careers.
- Good Character & Leadership – building responsible citizens and future leaders who give back to their communities.
- Healthy Lifestyles – encouraging wellness, resilience, and positive decision-making.
The Formula for Impact combines two essential elements: young people who need us most + an outcome-driven Club experience = Great Futures.
Below are just a few examples of the enriching programs offered at our Clubs throughout Hampton Roads.
