We're on a mission to empower all youth to reach their full potential.

The Boys & Girls Club of Lincoln is where opportunity meets belonging. We provide youth with caring mentors, meaningful programs, and real-world experiences that support academic success, healthy lifestyles, and future readiness. When kids have the tools and support they deserve, entire communities grow stronger.

    "Boys & Girls Club at North Star is important to me because if I'm missing schoolwork it gives me a space to get help and complete it before going home. I also love the games, the people, and the food!"

    "I want every team member to feel safe showing up as their authentic self and empowered to focus on what truly matters. Whether that means dressing comfortably or dressing to impress, prioritizing mental health, or honoring work-life balance, we know that when our staff feels good, they do great work. And when our staff thrives, our kids thrive too."

    "I love working at the Boys & Girls Club because of the impact I have on the students, and the impact they have on me. Being around Club at LNS is so much fun. I feel as if I am learning from them as they are from me, and it’s truly an amazing opportunity that I love, will never forget, and will continue to cherish as long as I am here."
