Things got a little messy at the Club last week... but that’s what great science is all about! Our K-1 Club members had the opportunity to conduct a fun slime experiment with Ava The STEM Princess, and it’s safe to say they had a blast. Thank you to @teamgeniussquad for partnering with us and bringing your STEM magic to the club. 🧪🧬💡✨ #BGCDOC #GreatFuturesStartHere #AmericaNeedsClubKids #Summercamp #STEM

ICYMI: One of the most heartfelt moments from our 2026 Great Futures Breakfast was honoring Seth Trimble with our BGCDOC's most prestigious award that is given out annually -- The Marywinne Sherwood Outstanding Service to Youth Award! 💙 Seth's mom, Laurence, and sister, Sophie, joined us to accept the award on his behalf, sharing a meaningful moment that reflected the impact Seth has made at our Chapel Hill Club. While he couldn't be with us in person, our CEO, Jerome Levisy, was grateful to surprise Seth after a UNC practice in February with the news that he had been selected as our award recipient. Check out more photos from that day on our pinned post! We are so grateful for the time and dedication he has poured into our youth and community. Thank you, @sethtrim for all you do, and we know a whole bunch of Club kids and families who are wishing you the very best as you live out your dreams at the next level! 🏀

Last Thursday, our Club kids had the chance to hit the green at the Bank of America Golf with Us Clinic ⛳️💙 BGCDOC was thrilled to support the clinic and watch our young people learn new skills, build confidence, and have so much fun trying something new alongside incredible instructors and mentors. And yes, UNC basketball legend @masterhansbruh was there too, which made the day even cooler for our kids! A huge thank you to @bankofamerica for creating opportunities that inspire the next generation both on and off the course. #BofAGolfwithUs

One week ago and we’re still not over it 💙 The Great Futures Breakfast was full of real connection, big energy, and a whole lot of people showing up for Club kids in a meaningful way.

We didn’t just hit our Summer Camp goal, we exceeded it at over $128,000! We are so grateful for everyone who showed up and helped make an impact that’s going to last way beyond one morning. 📸: @meglizleemedia and Ashton Hayes at @coastal24 #GreatFuturesBreakfast #BGCDOC #BGCA #GreatFuturesStartHere #AmericaNeedsClubKids

Our partners at @bluecrossnc just released the results of their SNAP Application Assistance Pilot, where they've helped an estimated 2,900 NC residents access nutrition benefits, and the impact is exactly what we see every day at the Club: when our members and their families have reliable access to food, health improves and costs drop. For the Boys & Girls Clubs, that means our Club kids can focus on what matters most — being kids!

This past weekend, we had the absolute honor of hosting our second annual Unity Fashion Show! 🌎💙 With nearly 20 countries represented, our Club was filled with pride as our youth celebrated their cultures alongside their peers and families. This event was about so much more than fashion; it was a powerful reminder of the strength we find in embracing our differences and coming together as one community. A special shoutout to our incredible Area Director, Baesha Coppedge, for bringing this event to life and making it so meaningful for our kids. #BGCDOC #AmericaNeedsClubkids #GreatFuturesStartHere #BGCA #Unity #Strongertogether

This week, one of our incredible Club members, Kamecia, had the opportunity of a lifetime. Through the NC Alliance of Boys & Girls Clubs, she attended a week-long training to serve as a Governor’s Page for Josh Stein @nc_governor. During the program, she connected with young leaders from across the state and learned more about how state government works. Her exposure to public service opened doors to new career opportunities and encouraged her to dream bigger. Experiences like these remind us of the incredible things that can happen when young people are given chances to grow, lead, and discover their potential! #BGCDOC #AmericaNeedsClubkids #GreatFuturesStartHere #BGCA

Earlier this month, a cohort of 4th-6th grade Club members took an inspiring field trip to the debut screening of "C.B.: Power to the Player" on the Duke University campus. The documentary tells the incredible story of Claudius "CB" Claiborne, the first Black student-athlete and member of the men's basketball program at Duke. CB is a true trailblazer who broke barriers and helped pave the way for the generations that followed him within Duke Athletics and campus life. After the screening, our Club kids got to meet CB as well as current members of the nation's #1-ranked men's basketball team, talk about the film, and bring that inspiration back with them to the Club. Thank you to Dr. Javier Wallace @javierwallace512 and @dukembb for the kind invitation and for making this impactful night possible! #AmericaNeedsClubKids #BlackHistoryMonth #DukeBasketball #PowerToThePlayer

We are still celebrating the heartfelt stories of impact from Club kids and volunteers that were shared at our organization's first-ever Circle of Champions recognition dinner that was held last week!

We especially want to thank our friend and NBC Sports broadcaster @zorastephenson for joining us at the Circle of Champions dinner and for emceeing such a memorable program! Before heading off to cover the 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles, Zora carved the time out of her busy schedule to help us celebrate our youth, our Clubs, and our Champions. Thank you, Zora, for shining a light on the life-changing work that is happening at the Clubs every day!

It’s Champions Day at @bgca_clubs, and we're celebrating the power of sports for local youth! Sports are often what bring kids into the Club, but what happens next changes lives.

Change futures. ⚽🏀🏐🏈 #BGCDOC #Champions #YouthSports #BoysAndGirlsClub #GreatFuturesStartHere #AmericaNeedsClubKids

Meet Marathi, Chapel Hill-Carrboro City 5th-grader and proud Club member! Marathi discovered a love for gardening all thanks to Marywinne Sherwood, longtime Club volunteer and Board Member. “My favorite thing about the Club is the garden,” Marathi shared. “Ms. Marywinne comes and teaches us about the different fruits and vegetables. She always lets us take stuff home! One time, she let me take home some carrots and peas. I planted the peas at my house! So now I have a pea garden at home that I get to watch grow.” What began as a simple addition of a garden to the Club’s backyard has sparked a curiosity in Marathi for plant life, the natural world around her, and the way things grow. Your support opens doors for youth like Marathi. Even better, with a $50,000 match through December 31, your gift will be doubled to help even more kids build great futures. 💙✨ Visit our Linktree to donate now. #GreatFuturesStartHere #BGCDOC #AmericaNeedsClubKids #HolidaySpirit
