At the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Gila River Indian Community, we respect and honor the right of Native people to control their own futures. Our Clubs celebrate the unique strengths of Native communities and work in partnership with the tribe to support young people in being resilient, healthy and successful. Our programs are adapted and modified to integrate Native culture and further empower customization to reflect the Gila River Indian Community. In addition to programming that supports skill-building and character development, Native youth find safe places, caring staff, hope and opportunity at the Club.
Today, Boys & Girls Clubs of America is the largest Native youth service provider in the nation, with more than 227 Clubs reaching over 120,000 Native youth in American Indian, Alaska Native, American Samoan, and Hawaiian tribal communities. Native Clubs prioritize the well-being of youth, families, communities and staff through culture, life-enhancing programs and mentorship that fosters resiliency for Native young people and meets the needs of the community.
