Historical Contributions
African-Americans have played a vital role in the growth and development of the Boys & Girls Club Movement.

Dr. Carter Savage, Vice President – Youth Development, Boys & Girls Clubs of America has worked over the past years to begin a collection of data regarding the contributions that African-American have made to the Movement.

Each of you are encouraged to contact Dr. Savage if you have memorabilia or other information that can help document the contributions.

It is vital that individuals are aware of the significant contributions African-Americans have made in the past and continue to make today in assisting the youth of our nation.
