Boys & Girls Clubs provide structured after-school and summer programs focused on academic support, athletics, leadership development, and healthy lifestyles. While youth are supervised at all times, the Club is not a traditional childcare center. Members participate in scheduled activities and also have opportunities to choose from approved programs within the Club setting.

Our initial Club at Woodfin Elementary serves children in grades K-4. As we expand, we look forward to offering the Boys & Girls Club experience to middle and high school aged youth.

At our Woodfin Elementary Club, we operate from dismissal to 6PM. Other Clubs may have slightly different hours when they open. 

Annual membership is free. We are committed to removing as many barriers to participation as
possible.

Families complete an online membership application and submit required forms.

At this time, Boys & Girls Clubs of the Asheville Region do not offer transportation to or from the Club.

Members should bring homework materials, a backpack, and any school-related items they may

Yes. Clubs provide healthy snacks and, in many cases, meals during after-school and summer
programs.

Safety is our highest priority. All staff members undergo background checks and training. Clubs
operate with clear supervision policies, secure check-in and check-out procedures, and
established behavior guidelines.

We encourage consistent attendance so youth can build relationships and benefit fully from
programming.

Clubs use clear behavior expectations and positive reinforcement strategies. If concerns arise,
staff partner with parents or guardians to support the child’s success.

Club staff communicates regularly with families through monthly parent newsletters, email,
phone, and in-person conversations.
