Boys and Girls Club of Benton County

Boys and Girls Club

The first clubhouse opened on September 21, 1992. Initially located in a 2,000 sqaure foot building in Bentonville, the organization rapidly outgrew the space. Through the generosity of Carl and Allene McKinney and the support of the community, the Club built a new facility, the McKinney Unit, and moved in November 1995. Continued community support and the need created led to a second unit, the Bella Vista Unit, which opened June 1997. Starting in the spring of 1999, the Club has provided a dental care program to low-income children in need of dental care. Then in November 2000, the Bella Vista Unit opened its doors and is used in connection with the Bentonville Public School System. This March, a fourth unit will open its doors in Rogers in the old National Guard Armory. Current membership for all three clubs is well over 2,800 and increasing. The Northwest Arkansas Business Journal named the Club "Nonprofit Organization of the Year" in 1999 and in 2000 were named as a finalist.

The Boys and Girls Club provides a variety of programming to fit the needs of most every child. All club members have the opportunity to develop their own talents based on individual needs and interests. This approach also helps the organization to be successful in reaching the organization's most important mission: to enable all young people, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.
