Who We Are
OUR HISTORY
We believe that every child deserves a place to feel safe and connected - but most importantly, a place to belong.
Boys & Girls Club of Elgin is Founded
The City of Elgin and Elgin Police Department, growing tired of escalating drug & gang problems, decided to unite with key stakeholders to find a solution. Enter the Boys & Girls Club of Elgin, which was officially founded on November 9, 1993.
