A group of community-minded Laredoans chartered the Boys Club of Laredo in 1946 and moved into the main building.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Laredo have been, for more than half a century, an organization synonymous with service to youth, and have a long record of shaping youth today in preparation for leadership tomorrow.
Since it’s dedication on July 4, 1946, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Laredo have been the helping hand that has made the difference in the lives of thousands of young people.
There are three clubs in Laredo: the Roberto and Beatriz Benavides Club, the Lamar Bruni Vergara Club, and the Northwest Club. Each of these complexes contains its separate ares of a game room, arts and crafts area, tutoring, kitchen, and outdoor area. Our Clubs have their own swimming pools and libraries.
Boys & Girls Clubs are primarily designed to give members, ages 6 through 12, responsible adult guidance, filling needs that frequently are not adequately met at home, in school or elsewhere in the community. Besides our regular membership of 10,000, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Laredo reach another 20,000 boys and girls through our Special Leagues of Basketball, Flag Football, Volleyball, and Track meets.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Laredo are unique, being the only organization dedicated to promoting the health, social, educational, and character development of youth on a daily basis.
