Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Florida has been building pillars in the Jacksonville community and across Northeast Florida for over 60 years. Our organization was chartered on July 23, 1962, as the Boys’ Club of Jacksonville and in April 1966, we opened the doors to our first Club, the Laurence F. Lee Club, in Springfield. On March 21, 1988, as more girls began to join our Clubs, Boys’ Club of Greater Jacksonville changed its legal name to Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Florida.
Today, we provide daily youth development and educational programming to more than 5,000 young people through 55 Clubs in Alachua, Clay, Duval, Nassau and St. Johns counties after school and during the summer.
