Advocate for Clubs

Please ask your legislators to support our work on Beacon Hill!

Engaging Our Legislators

The Massachusetts Alliance of Boys & Girls Clubs serves as the joint action agency for our 40 member Clubs. We serve as a single access point for state funding and bring a unified voice to policy issues that impact our Clubs, staff, and the 175,000 children and youth we serve across the Commonwealth. 

The Alliance advocates for:
  • State funding to support our Clubs, programs, and staff
  • Legislation to protect the health, safety and welfare of our children and youth
  • Policies that enhance the Afterschool, Out-of-School Time and Early Education fields in Massachusetts
Please consider reaching out to your local legislators to ask them to support the Boys & Girls Clubs and the work we are doing to across the Commonwealth.

2023 MA Alliance of Boys & Girls Clubs Legislative Meeting 

The event highlighted and celebrated the important role Clubs play in their communities: providing afterschool and out-of-school time programming, offering social and emotional support to kids and teens, serving hundreds of thousands of meals to those in need, and providing childcare for working families. The Alliance also took the opportunity to thank the Legislature for their unprecedented support via EEC Stabilization Grants; for the first, EEC provided funding to all the Clubs in the Commonwealth. As part of the event, the Alliance bestowed Representative Gonzalez and Senator Friedman with its 2023 House and Senate Champion of Youth awards, in recognition of their tireless advocacy on behalf of Boys & Girls Clubs on Beacon Hill.
