Friends Council
Join the next generation
of philanthropic leaders
Friends Council is Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston’s community of emerging leaders. Now in its 16th year, this leadership group involves dynamic individuals who invest in BGCB’s mission, volunteer their time, plan and attend fundraising events, and serve as BGCB ambassadors to engage their networks. Members create lasting change for Boston’s youth by engaging with community leaders and BGCB members, alumni, and staff.
Leader: commit to a gift of $1,000 a year. You can also fundraise this amount from your network and peers!
Member: commit to a gift of at least $25/month or $300 a year
Members receive a dedicated contact in BGCB’s Development Office and are the first to hear about upcoming Friends Council events, volunteer opportunities, and leadership development initiatives, as well as special invitations to other BGCB events.
