The Boys’ Club of New York (BCNY)
is one of New York’s oldest and most well-respected youth development
organizations and we are moving forward with an exciting and ambitious
strategic agenda. Building on over 139 years of helping boys develop into
quality young men aged 6-21, we offer programs that help boys and young men
stay in school and go on to college, discover their individual musical and
artistic talent, develop healthy minds and bodies, learn leadership skills, and
just have fun. Established in 1985, BCNY’s Robert M. Gardiner School provides
first generation college-bound middle school students from low-income
communities with the support services they need during the summer to secure an
appropriate high school placement. The majority of boys who are accepted into
the program have not yet reached their academic potential.
