Back-to-school season means time to find after-school enriching activities for children that won’t break the bank. That’s where the Boys & Girls of Club of Greater Nashua (BGCN) comes in. For $40 a year, the Nashua Club provides before-school and after-school youth development programs and individual services, along with daily healthy meals and snacks, and transportation to and from the Club at no additional cost. A range of age-appropriate tutoring, academic support, cultural arts, STEAM hands-on learning, and athletic programs are available for children in grades K-12, and full-day early childhood care is available for children ages 6-weeks through five years old.

This fall, children ages 6-weeks through 2nd grade can enroll in licensed childcare for a weekly fee in our Early Learning Center. Children in grades 3-5 can enroll in the Clubhouse age group, and children in grades 6-12 can enroll in the Stahl Teen Center. Clubhouse and Teen Center school-year programs are available for just $40 for the entire school year.

The newly opened STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art and Math) Lab is designed to engage youth in academic programming in a fun and safe way, encouraging them to learn new things and exposing them to potential career fields in STEAM. BGCN’s new Catie’s Closet, the first non-school location in the country, gives students access to free new or gently used clothing and basic hygiene necessities. This resource is open to all Club members, regardless of age.
