The Club that Connects

The Nantucket Boys & Girls Club serves children in 1st-12th grade year-round and offers essential support and resources to all island kids, their families, and the broader community. In 2023, the Club served 1,352 children from 1,146 households.


Our facility provides the perfect space for creativity, growth, and youth development. We strive to create a special space for every child that walks through our doors. Every child is unique, and the Club enables all kids to find their passion, meet new friends, and grow in a safe and positive environment.
