Mission Statement...
To enable youth to reach their full potential as responsible, caring, and productive citizens.
We believe that every child in the Fall River community should have a safe place where they can learn, play, and grow. They deserve a sanctuary where caring adults guide, supervise, and lead them to adulthood. The Boys & Girls Club of Fall River is that place.
Using the full extent of our powers, we assure that our members will complete high school and have access to a postsecondary education. In partnership with other community members, we will be outstanding stewards of the public’s trust and our donors’ gifts.
Make a wish
Mass & RI
Wishes are more than just a nice thing. And they are far more than gifts, or singular events in time. Wishes impact everyone involved—wish kids, volunteers, donors, sponsors, medical professionals and communities. For wish kids, just the act of making their wish come true can give them the courage to comply with their medical treatments. Parents might finally feel like they can be optimistic. And still others might realize all they have to offer the world through volunteer work or philanthropy.
