Brief History of the Boys & Girls Club of Bloomfield, New Mexico
The Boys & Girls Club of Bloomfield had its beginnings in 1992 as a response to increasing gang activity
and youth violence in Bloomfield. Community members from many walks of life banded together to find a solution, and it was decided to organize a Boys & Girls Club, since this national organization has a reputation for providing high quality programs for at-risk youth. In October of 1993, the Bloomfield Boys & Girls Club became incorporated and was chartered by the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Since, it has grown from a very small operation without a home of
its own to a club annually serving over 900 boys and girls ages 6 to 18 years of age from all backgrounds in a nice, but small, facility. The mission of the Club is to provide a safe place for youth from all backgrounds, to learn and grow, with special concern for those from challenging circumstances. Our goal is to enable youth to gain the knowledge and skills to become responsible citizens and leaders who are able to support themselves and live successful lives.
With a growing population and a need for space
to conduct the variety of current programs as well as potential programs that are offered in other Boys & Girls Clubs, the Board of Directors made plans and began seeking ways to raise funds for a larger facility. The capital campaign was in full swing and approximately $1 million dollars
was raised for the new facility. Now, our dream is a reality with our new building that opened in August 2004. This is not a moment too soon, as our daily participation numbers have seen as much as a 500% increase in the last year and a half alone.
This is an exciting time for our Club as many years of hard work are finally beginning to pay off. With the help of our many supporters, we will
look back on these humble beginnings from the success of our future.
