The Minnesota Alliance proudly serves as the unified statewide advocacy voice for the 11 independent Boys & Girls Clubs organizations strategically located throughout every corner of Minnesota. Our dedicated efforts are centered on championing the collective interests of these vital Clubs, working tirelessly to ensure their profound and indispensable work in empowering young people is not only recognized but also robustly supported at the state legislative and administrative levels. By elevating their impact, we strive to secure the resources and policies necessary for Minnesota's Boys & Girls Clubs to continue fostering great futures for thousands of youth.

Our Statewide Commitment to Youth

Member

Organizations

The Minnesota Alliance works to support and advocate for the eleven Boys & Girls Clubs organizations in the state. These clubs are made up of a network of local, volunteer board members who work to provide essential services to their communities. Alliance members also employ over 500 staff members who work to support and empower the more than 30,000 youth served by these clubs. The Alliance's mission is to ensure that all young people, especially those who need us most, have the opportunity to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.

Expanding Our Reach, Bridging Gaps

Expansion

The Minnesota Alliance of Boys & Girls Clubs is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing a safe place for all boys and girls to learn, grow and thrive. With a $5 million grant from the Minnesota Department of Education, we are working to expand Boys and Girls Clubs to more communities in Minnesota to support after-school and summer programs that address learning loss.
