BOSTON, MA — Recently, Boys & Girls Clubs of Dorchester partnered with our friends at Elevate Youth and Paddle Boston for a couple of fun kayaking field trips for our members. The kids were able to enjoy the beautiful summer weather out on the water learning to kayak.

Elevate Youth provides outdoor opportunities to empower youth from underserved neighborhoods with support of positive adult role models, and has partnered with Paddle Boston to offer fun activities such as paddle boarding, canoeing and kayaking in the Boston area.

BGCD and Elevate Youth have been partnering together for year-round Outdoor Recreation & Education activities for the past 4 years. We are so thankful to Elevate Youth for continuing to provide these fun opportunities to our members.

DORCHESTER, MA — BGCD’s Early Education & Care program was excited to host their very own 2021 Summer Olympic Games at BGCD. Our amazing Early Ed athletes took part in a series of sporting events, games and activities.

Our teams of athletes not only had the opportunity to compete with each other, but were also encouraged to cheer on their friends as well. BGCD Olympics included some challenging sporting events, but our athletes rose to the occasion showing great strength, agility, speed and athleticism. At the end of the day, all of our athletes were awarded gold medals for their efforts and achievements.
