Boys & Girls Clubs Of The Cedar Valley

What Boys & Girls Clubs Of The Cedar Valley does

Boys & Girls Clubs Of The Cedar Valley is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit youth-development organization headquartered in Waterloo, Iowa, founded in 1967 as the Boys Club of Waterloo. It provides free after-school and out-of-school programming to 1,144 registered youth ages 6–18 across four club sites spanning the Cedar Valley, including a presence in Elk Run Heights. Programming is organized around three core pillars (academics, health & wellness, and character/leadership), delivered through sports leagues, arts, STEM, mentorship, and summer camps by a 36-person staff that includes Youth Development Professionals and senior leadership under CEO Bryan Burton, CFO Bailey Moore, and COO George Phillips.

The organization operates with no fee-for-service revenue; its service is free to member families. Underlying infrastructure consists of four physical club facilities, an online member-engagement portal (MyClubHub), and a calendar of recurring community events (Annual Dinner, Trivia Night, Golf Classic, BrewBQ, Clay Shoot, Kids in the Kitchen, Youth of the Year). The technology stack is conventional and operational rather than productized.

The revenue model is a hybrid nonprofit model combining contributed income (individual donations, corporate sponsorships, planned giving) with restricted grant funding (notably the federal 21st Century Community Learning Centers program) and a smaller earned-income stream from facility rentals. Go-to-market is community-embedded: awareness flows through local schools, partner organizations, and event sponsorships (including Mediacom, Hy-Vee, Allen College, Veridian Credit Union, Northwestern Mutual, and Coldwell Banker). Member families are acquired via word-of-mouth, school referrals, and direct registration through MyClubHub.
