Boys & Girls Club of Yarmouth

What Boys & Girls Club of Yarmouth does

Boys & Girls Club of Yarmouth (BGC Yarmouth) is a community-based, non-profit charitable organization (Charitable Registration #11881 4615 RR0001) founded in 1967 and operating exclusively in Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia. It is a member club of the national Boys & Girls Clubs of Canada (BGC Canada) network and serves approximately 400 members and their families annually. The organization delivers licensed childcare, before/after school programming, summer day camp, and youth development services through seven fixed service locations, including two full-day childcare centres (Bond Street and NSCC Burridge Campus) and four school-based before/after school sites (Yarmouth Elementary, Plymouth, Meadowfields, Port Maitland). Anchor Youth Fridays, a free Friday-evening program for ages 10–17 delivered in partnership with the Youth Wellbeing Network, extends programming into the older-youth segment.

BGC Yarmouth's core products follow a tiered pricing model with pay-as-you-go daily billing. Full-day childcare is priced at $32.95–$35.95 CAD per day depending on age (infant, toddler, preschool); before/after school care ranges from $8 to $22 per day; and the Summer Day Camp is $34 per day or $150 per week. Programs follow Nova Scotia's Day Care Act and Regulations, the Capable, Confident and Curious early learning curriculum, and the Let's Get Moving Action Plan. The organization has no proprietary technology platform; its operational technology stack consists of a website (bgcyarmouth.ca), the HiMAMA app for parent communication, and the CanadaHelps donation portal.

Revenue is generated through three streams: parent-paid childcare and program fees (subscription/recurring), provincial government subsidies administered under Nova Scotia's Before and After School Program framework (historically 60 of 75 day care seats subsidized), and donations/fundraising (including corporate sponsorships, community giving circles, and online raffles). The customer base is exclusively individual families and youth; there are no enterprise or B2B customers. Leadership comprises an Executive Director (Jodie Pothier), Directors of Programs and Childcare Services, and a volunteer Board of Directors chaired by Lynn Doucette.
