Boys and Girls Clubs of Dorchester
Established in 1970 as the Colonel Daniel Marr Boys and Girls Club

Our name is new.  The promise, hope and inspiration stay the same.  This new name reflects what we have built in our community. Inside our three clubhouses we continue to be a place to learn, explore talents, play and make friends for Dorchester’s young people.  Today, as always, our members between ages six and 18 have access to 200+ activities for just $5 a year.

Our Mission

To inspire and enable all young people, from diverse circumstances, to realize their full potential by providing opportunities for personal growth to become contributing, caring and responsible members of the community.
