New Facility
As we watch with excitement the construction of our new Club facility, we are temporarily located at 1415 Montauk Highway, East Patchogue. Our mailing address, telephone and fax numbers will not change. (Packages should be sent to the Montauk Hwy. address.) We are still located in the Bellport area and will continue to provide the much-needed services to the youth of our community.

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.
Our program
hours are 3:00pm-9:00pm, Monday - Friday. Administrative hours are
9:30am-5:00pm, Monday - Friday. The Clubhouse provides a “safe place” for children and youth
between the ages of 5 and 19 to gather. A caring and dedicated staff of
four (4) full-time professional employees and
sixteen (16) 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.
