The BGCR partners with over 40 different youth-serving organizations to identify youth who would greatly benefit from Club programming, including Ridgefield Public Schools, Ridgefield Social Services, the Fresh Air Fund, the Ridgefield Police Department, and the Department of Children and Family Services.  

With the expanded space, we plan to add programming specifically focused on Teen Mental Health, including Anxiety and Depression; Suicide Prevention; Gun Prevention, and Substance Abuse Prevention.  We also plan on retaining a certified counselor on staff to help provide social services to all of our members, and their families, if needed.

A large part of our vision for the future and this project is to be able to expand on our mission of equal access and opportunities for everyone, regardless of family income or resources.  We have an unwavering commitment to those that are experiencing hardship and the Growth Campaign will allow us to expand our reach.
