To connect youth and community by creating inclusive spaces where young people are empowered, supported, and inspired to build strong relationships, develop leadership skills, and contribute meaningfully to the world around them.
The Atchison After School Club, formerly the Boys & Girls Club of Atchison, was founded in 2002 as a drop-in safe place in the community for youth. Our original mission was "To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens."
In 2025, the Club continued service under our new name: the Atchison After School Club.
Whether you can volunteer your time or sponsor a child's membership, we'd love to have you.
