THE CLUB THAT CONNECTS

The Nantucket Boys & Girls Club serves children in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade year-round and offers essential support and resources to all island kids, their families, and the broader community.


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.

LATEST NEWS

September 4, 2026
The Schaeffer family has been part of the Nantucket Boys & Girls Club community for years. Currently sitting on the Board of Trustees, Justin started chairing the Sam Sylvia Golf Tournament in 2019 and has led it every year since. Claire co-chaired the Tim Russert Summer Groove in 2018 and 2019, putting the couple at the helm of the Club's two largest fundraising events.  Both sides of the family have supported the Club since 2018, with Justin's parents, Liz and Peter, and Claire's parents, John and Carol Moriarty, all active givers. As a family, the Schaeffers hosted the Club's inaugural Naples tour, welcoming new friends to the mission and vision of the Club, making a transformational impact on the Club by strengthening the NBGC’s ties to the seasonal community that cares deeply about the island's kids. This summer, that connection took on new meaning when Lily, the youngest of Justin and Claire's three children after Maisie and Auggie, became the family's first Club Kid.
