The Boys' and Girls' Clubs Association of Hong Kong
Founded in 1936, The Boys’ & Girls’ Clubs Association of Hong Kong (BGCA) is one of the longest serving local non-government organisations dedicated to the welfare of children and youth. Our mission to achieve a balanced and happy environment for the nurturing and growth of our young - physically, intellectually and emotionally - has never wavered in our focus of “Nurture the Young, Create the Future”.
In response to rapid changes of our social milieu in recent years, BGCA has established new services in the context of early childhood intervention offered to children at pre-school age, those with special educational needs and their families requiring enhanced parenting support.
BGCA currently delivers services in Hong Kong through over 140 service points and reaches over 190,000 people this year, including over 70,000 members, thus pursuing likewise our coverage of “BGCA All The Way”.
