Boys & Girls Clubs of Larimer County

Thank you to our Exclusive Title Partner: Dohn Construction. This summer, Dohn Construction led our Club members through the new Fort Collins Krispy Kreme build and spoke about careers in trade fields. Our Club members also got donuts! Your astounding support of BGCLC including Summer of Discovery, our career exploration program for middle-school-aged youth, allows our Club members to make memories and discover new paths. We’re so grateful!

Nancy Riley, local wildlife biologist and author of "Yeti in the Serengeti," visited our Lincoln Elementary Club last week! She read her book and everyone made paper hats - just like Ohm the Yeti. Thank you so much for spending the afternoon with us! Our Cub members had a wonderful time.

At BGCLC, little moments make a big impact. We want to thank our partner Andrew Shafer for capturing our favorite moments at Club. From our Youth of the Year winner celebrating with his Club Director, to our staff doing what they do best, photography doesn’t just help us tell our story. It gives our families, staff, and community moments they can hold on to. Thank you! Scroll to see some of our favorite moments from this year:

Can’t beat building propeller cars with real-life engineers! After making a kind donation of STEM kits to our Clubs,?AMD?volunteers spent the afternoon guiding our members through important STEM concepts! We’re so grateful for your time and support. "I don’t know that all students equate building something like a rubber band fan car with the field of engineering, so I hope it opened their eyes and interest to the world of engineering, and all of the possibilities within that field." - Kim Williams, AMD Community Affairs Liaison & AMD Volunteer
