Since 2002, Boys & Girls Clubs of the Mississippi Delta (BGCMSD) has offered time-tested and proven programs to the youth of the Mississippi Delta will one goal:

“To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens”. 

BGCMSD operates 7 Club sites throughout the Delta in the following communities: 

• Clarksdale Club
• Greenwood Club*
• Grenada Club*
• Itta Bena/MVSU Club*
• Jonestown Club
• Lexington Club*
• Yazoo City Club*

Our Clubs serve nearly 2,000 youth with outreach programming that reached an additional 3,000 young people, ages 6-18, in 2019.

Club Members participate in the 5 Core Program Areas outlined by Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA). 

These 5 Core Program Areas are

• Education & Career Development,
• Character & Leadership Development,
• Health & Life Skills Development,
• Sports, Fitness, & Recreation, and
• The Arts.

Each program area is comprised of a variety of age/gender appropriate programs specifically developed to “grow” with the Club member as he or she grows through the Club each year.

Our organization focuses on 5 key areas to meet increased demands and have an even deeper impact on the future of our community’s youth – These areas are:

1. Safety
2. Fun 
3. Recognition
4. Academic Success, and
5. Healthy Lifestyles

If your community is interested in bringing the Boys & Girls Clubs opportunities to youth in your area, please reach out to David Dallas, our CEO, to discuss the process and feasibility!
