Friends Council

Join the next generation of leaders for Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston

Friends Council is Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston’s community of emerging leaders. Now in its 15th year, this philanthropic group involves dynamic individuals who invest in BGCB’s mission, volunteer their time, organize fundraisers, and engage their networks to move the needle for our Club members.

Members join with a gift of at least $25 per month or $300 annually.
