Message from the CEO
Josh Kraft |
I am honored to serve as Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston’s Nicholas President and CEO, and to lead this highly effective organization through an important period in its history.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston owes so much to our founders and the stewards of our mission through the decades. Today, we benefit from an exceptional reputation for our life-enhancing programming, caring staff, and welcoming facilities; a reputation that was developed and nurtured by staff and Board members who served our organization before us. We take very seriously our responsibility as the caretakers of this legacy.
We are deeply inspired by the productivity of so many of our Club alumni who have made life-long commitments to serving the community. We are grateful for the ongoing generosity and dedication of our Board members from the Local Advisory Boards, Board of Overseers, Board of Directors and Senior Advisory Board. We are excited about the energy and desire to give back that our new Friends Council members are bringing to the organization.
Outside forces may have made this past year challenging, but our community rose to meet that challenge. I am so proud to be part of an organization in which the staff rallied around our mission with so much creativity, passion and teamwork, and our supporters asked, “How can I help?”
As we begin our 116th year, we renew our commitment to the youth and families we serve and express our gratitude to our many friends who make our work possible.
If you have already shown your support for our work, thank you very much. If you are just getting to know us, we hope you will be inspired by what you read on this web site.
