Boys & Girls Clubs of Pueblo County

What Boys & Girls Clubs of Pueblo County does

Boys & Girls Clubs of Pueblo County is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit youth development organization founded in 1972 and headquartered in Pueblo, Colorado. It operates nine full-service clubhouses and four school-based CO-AAP extension sites across Pueblo County, serving approximately 2,790 youth ages 6-18 annually, with more than 80% of members living at or below the federal poverty level. The organization delivers a structured portfolio of programs covering academic support and STEM, career exploration, character and leadership development, health and wellness, arts, and sports/recreation, supplemented by special initiatives such as NFL FLAG Football, an Outdoor Equity Program, Youth of the Month and Youth of the Year recognition, and seasonal family support (Santa's Helper). Most clubhouse memberships are free; Prairie Winds charges a service fee.

The organization is funded through a diversified mix of individual donations (including the Club IMPACT monthly giving program and Leadership Circle donors giving $1,000+ annually), corporate sponsorships (Champions of Youth Dinner, GAP Glow Golf Tournament), foundation and government grants (including the 21st Century Community Learning Centers federal grant), and special event fundraising. The Colorado Child Care Contribution Tax Credit allows donors to claim a 50% state income tax credit on cash contributions, materially enhancing donation economics. The organization is independently governed by a local Board of Directors and is affiliated with — but not owned by — the national Boys & Girls Clubs of America network. Leadership includes President & CEO Becky Medina, who has been with the organization since 1994, alongside a senior team of VPs of Finance and Resource Development, program directors, and individual clubhouse directors overseeing day-to-day site operations.
