The Boys and Girls Club of Greater Westfield nurtures young people's self-esteem by providing programs that give youth a sense of belonging, usefulness, influence and competence.
Through frequent participation in Club programming intentionally designed to produce positive outcomes, young people become productive, caring and responsible citizens. The outcomes below describe our expectations and goals for young people.
