Company History
Boys & Girls Clubs of Bellevue was founded in 1952 with one Clubhouse in downtown Bellevue, WA. Since its inception the Club has provided the young people of our community with something they need and want most: a safe environment where adults respect and listen to them; a place where they can have fun.
In the mid-1970's The Bellevue Boys Club became one of the first Clubs in the country to offer programs for girls. At this time, the Board of Directors officially changed the organization's name to Boys & Girls Clubs of Bellevue. The national organization did not follow until 1990.
In the early 1990's the Club established the only dedicated Teen Center in the City of Bellevue. This Teen Supreme Site was recognized nationally by Boys & Girls Clubs of America as one of the first dedicated Teen facilities in the country.
Since 1995, the Club has expanded its programming to serve more than 7,500 registered members each year, with an additional 4,000 teens being served. Through these members, the Club provides programs for more than half the school age population of Bellevue.
Today the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bellevue operates 14 sites within the City of Bellevue, Washington including the Main Clubhouse in downtown Bellevue, 3 in Public Housing Sites, 5 in elementary schools, and 2 dedicated Teen Centers.
