What Boys & Girls Clubs of Central and Northern New Hampshire does

Boys & Girls Clubs of Central and Northern New Hampshire (BGCNCH) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit child care and youth development organization headquartered in Concord, New Hampshire, operating 30+ early learning centers, school-age programs, and summer camps across six New Hampshire regions: Greater Concord, Kearsarge-Sunapee, Lakes Region, Northern New Hampshire, Suncook, and Upper Valley. The organization serves children from six weeks of age through high school, with five core program areas (Character & Leadership, The Arts, Sports & Recreation, Health & Life-Skills, and Education & Career), and serves approximately 2,500 children annually with 1,000+ weekly enrollees. Operations are anchored by an integrated platform stack: Daxko for program registration and membership management, LGL Forms for forms processing, Praesidium for a 24-hour child safety hotline, and the Pyramid Model framework combined with Granite Steps for Quality for early childhood education delivery. The Mary Stuart Gile Early Learning Center at NHTI operates as an NAEYC-accredited laboratory school serving as a demonstration site for early childhood education best practices.

The organization's revenue model is a hybrid of earned income (weekly tuition/membership fees ranging from $60 for after-school to $435/week for infant care at the NHTI lab school, plus a $40 annual family registration), donations and event-based fundraising (Champions for Kids Society, Heritage Society legacy giving, golf tournaments, TV Auctions, galas), and government grants including a $1.97M ARPA grant from GOFERR and Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Center awards. Member rates are significantly subsidized below cost of service (e.g., after-school cost of service $182.90 vs. $60-$105 member rate), with financial assistance through the NH Child Care Scholarship. The organization is a chartered affiliate of Boys & Girls Clubs of America and is led by CEO Chris Emond with a board chaired by Steve Winer. Distribution channels include dedicated clubhouses, school-district-based sites, standalone early learning centers, university campus child care partnerships (NHTI, Plymouth State, Keene State, White Mountains Community College), and a self-serve Daxko online enrollment portal.
