Boys & Girls Club of Camden County

What Boys & Girls Club of Camden County does

The Boys & Girls Club of Camden County is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit youth development organization founded in 2001 and headquartered at 2 North Dudley Street, Camden, New Jersey (Federal EIN 22-3670025). The organization serves youth in Camden County through a portfolio of year-round programs: an After-School Program providing academic support and enrichment, a seven-week Summer Camp with swimming and activities, a Teen Program for leadership development, a Remote Learning Center, and a 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC) after-school enrichment program. Additional program components include an Esports and Digital Media curriculum delivered in partnership with Camden County College, and a family food assistance initiative. The organization celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2026 and is part of the broader Boys & Girls Clubs of America movement, operating as an independent local affiliate with its own Board of Trustees.

The organization has no proprietary technology product; service delivery is entirely physical through its single Camden facility. Revenue is generated through a diversified nonprofit funding model: tiered monthly individual giving ($25-$150/month mapped to specific program outcomes), corporate sponsorships (including TD Bank, Bank of America, Jefferson Health NJ, and Holman), after-school membership fees (SAC), planned giving vehicles (bequests, charitable trusts, gift annuities), and annual fundraising events. The signature events are the BE GREAT Extravaganza Gala and the Annual Golf Challenge, both recurring annually since at least 2020. The organization markets to supporters through Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, and an email newsletter, and maintains a Go-to-Market motion that is community-led, anchored by event-based fundraising and direct community engagement in the Camden service area.
