To ensure our young people, Clubs and colleagues are always our highest priorities, we commit to these core values:
We work effectively within and across teams, with engaged and empowered people to accomplish our goals; we celebrate success together.
We are authentic, honest and transparent; we strive to do the right thing every day, every time.
We do what we say and hold each other to the highest standards; we are impeccable stewards of all our resources; and we foster an environment of safety.
We treat others with respect and express gratitude.
We excel in service delivery, rigorously measure impact, and work to continuously improve ourselves and our organization; we are innovative.
I believe in God and the Right to Worship According to My own Faith & Religion.
I believe in America and the American way of Life, In the Constitution, and The Bill of Rights.
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 5,500 young people through 59 Clubs in Alachua, Clay, Duval, Nassau and St. Johns counties after school and during the summer.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Florida is a proud affiliate of Boys & Girls Clubs of America, the nation’s most effective youth development organization in the United States.
