Boys & Girls Club: ILLINOIS VALLEY Branch
Operating out of Evergreen Elementary School
, the Illinois Valley branch of the Boys & Girls Club offers a year-round program that
is fun and exciting. We hope to develop a permanent club house in the near future.
A team of dedicated, professional staff, with over 30 years combined
service, welcomes on average 110 members each and every day. Our programs and activities focus on 5 core areas including
Fine Art, Education, Leadership Development, Health and Life Skills, and Social and
Physical Recreation. We supplement our programs and activities with field trips to local museums, swimming pools, hiking and biking trails, libraries and other family destinations.
Who can join?
All boys and girls, ages 6 - 18 years of age, can join the Boys & Girls Club. Membership allows a youth to visit the Club
throughout the year for regular hours and activities.
What has our Club been up to?
The Illinois Valley branch is currently doing a major fund raising project to secure the future of The Club. The IV B&GC needs
to develop community support through sustainable gifts from the Illinois Valley. We have been conducting presentations to local
service groups, talking one on one with local businesses and individuals and have made great progress, but we are still in need of much,
much more. If you or someone you know would like to contact us regarding donations you can call us at 541-592-4771 or email at
admin@bgcrv.com.

the national Boys & Girls Clubs of America. With the new name for teens
and a theme of "What do you want to do" we are giving teens more of a voice and
hands on development of our already strong teen programs. For more
