About Our Club...

The Boys & Girls Club of the Bellport Area offers young people what they need and want most—adults who inspire, respect and listen to them, a safe environment where they can have fun and be themselves; find interesting, constructive activities that support the work of parents and schools, and channel youthful energy into challenging pursuits. Our youth development strategy employs caring, trained, professionals and tested programs to foster a sense of belonging and individual growth to build self-confidence and self-esteem.

Our mission is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances in the Bellport Area and increasingly from the South Shore, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.

The Boys & Girls Club of the Bellport Area currently serves more than 800 members and many other youths are served by participating in activities annually. The Club is at the forefront of youth development, working with young people in six core areas: Personal & Educational Development, Citizenship & Leadership Development, Cultural Enrichment, Health & Physical Education, Social Recreation, and Outdoor & Environmental Education.

The Boys & Girls Club of the Bellport Area has two additional units in addition to our Clubhouse located at 471 Atlantic Avenue. Open Monday through Friday, from 9:30am until 9 pm, the Clubhouse provides a “safe place” for children and youth between the ages of 5 and 20 to gather. A caring and dedicated staff of seven (7) full-time professional employees and thirteen (13) part-time employees are carefully screened and professionally trained in BGC programming which includes SMART Girls, Power Hour, After School Programs, Keystone Club, Youth Court and a Drop-in Lounge.

If you are interested in making an investment in our youth by volunteering your time or making a financial contribution, please visit us online at www.bgcbellport.org, or contact Tracie Van Dina at 631-286-9090. We would love to hear from you!
