Core Values
In our work with children, youth, families and communities, all Boys and Girls Clubs are guided by the
following Core Values. They define us as a movement and are the standard against which all Boys and
Girls Club services are measured.
Inclusion & Opportunity
We strive to offer children and youth from all economic, cultural and social backgrounds access to the resources,
supports and opportunities that will enable them to overcome barriers and achieve their positive potential in life.
Respect & Belonging
We provide a safe, supportive place, where every child is listened to, respected and valued in an environment of
inclusion and acceptance. Our staff and volunteers model honesty, fair play, positive attitude, cooperation and respect
for self and others.
Empowerment
We believe all young people can grow into responsible, contributing and self-reliant members of society. Children and
youth are at the centre of everything we do. Through adventure, play and discovery, we encourage and empower them
to develop healthy lifestyles, a life-long passion for learning, leadership and life skills and a sense of social responsibility.
Collaboration
We work together with families and volunteers in each community, in partnership with the public and private sector, to
create healthy community solutions to providing children and youth with what they need for optimal development.
Speaking Out
We speak out on behalf of children, youth and their families to reduce disadvantage, enhance their lives and enable their
voices and ideas to be heard.
