“BGCNCG serves an essential role in caring for our community's young people," said Katie Comer, Community Development Regional Manager at Facebook. "We enthusiastically support them and are proud to provide this grant to further this critical mission. It's what neighbors do, and we've called this community home since we broke ground on our Newton Data Center in 2018."

High from above yellow rubber ducks could be spotted floating out onto Porterdale’s Yellow River Saturday. Boys & Girls Clubs of North Central Georgia’s Duck Derby event streamed virtually this year and was supported by the community more than ever this year.

Safety is the number one priority of Boys & Girls Clubs of North Central Georgia, and we are doing whatever it takes to keep children, our staff, and volunteers protected from the COVID-19 virus. Safety is having our doors closed until April 16, as advised by our government officials. Although our Clubs are closed for now, our commitment and resolve to be a place that changes lives is still open.

Our Club Directors and staff are busy compiling activities from our Clubs to share with our community in the coming days. For now, here is a list of free academic and entertainment sources for our community to utilize. BGCNCG is here to continue to enrich the lives of the youth and community we serve!

BGCNCG is taking every step to keep our youth & communities safe which is why we will be extending our closure to March 27.
