The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Cedar Valley has a long history and proud tradition of serving the youth who need us most for over 40 years. With the changing demographics, increased poverty rates, increased single parent families and the day to day strain on Iowa families, the Boys & Girls Club is needed now more than ever. We also understand the challenge is more complex now than ever before.

The Club offers young people what they need and want most: adults who respect and listen to them; a safe environment where they can have fun and be themselves; and interesting, constructive activities that channel youthful energy into challenging pursuits.

Boys & Girls Clubs of the Cedar Valley consists of 4 Club facilities, in Waterloo, Cedar Falls, Dunkerton, and Evansdale.  Our goal is to provide every child with the essential tools needed for a successful and bright future. We serve over 600 children with our 4 units.  Our youth come to the Boys & Girls Clubs to receive tutoring, computer training, sports education, homework help, and mentoring. Our youth gain confidence by developing a sense of usefulness and belonging.

Statistics have shown that youth who are members at The Boys & Girls Club of the Cedar Valley tend to achieve better academic grades, miss less days of schools, and display positive behavior in comparison to non-Club Members.

Being part of this organization has been a blessing to me." - Jason Witham"I serve on the Board because the Club provides an essential service to community youth.  It provides a safe and fun environment for kids to learn and grow.  Many of these kids might not otherwise have that kind of support.  To help have an impact on their lives means a lot to me."
