About Boys and Girls of New Rochelle
The Boys and Girls Club of New Rochelle began in 1929 at the old Washington School building on Union
Avenue. Shortly thereafter, a citizen allowed his house in Feeney Park to be used as the official Boy’s
Club site which is now the location of the A.E. Mascaro Clubhouse. The Club’s progress has been
marked by consistent efforts to meet the needs of our youth and the community at large. The club
ultimately expanded in 1953 under the guidance and support of local organizations, thus creating the
Remington Clubhouse. Today the organization hosts nearly 600 children daily at the previously
mentioned sites and also 3 sites within the City School District of New Rochelle: Trinity Elementary
School, Ward Elementary School and Davis Elementary School. Over the years, thousands of kids from
all races and creeds have come through the Boys and Girls Club programs and moved on to become
responsible, successful adults and community minded citizens. Many members have volunteered at the
Club and have served on the board of directors. The longevity of the Club is the result of hard work and
dedication by our Board of Directors, Staff and adult associations such as the Remington Men’s Club,
Remington Women’s Auxiliary, and most notably, our volunteers. Today, the Boys & Girls Club of New
Rochelle serves approximately 1,200 members a year.
