Introduction
When the school bell rings for the end of the day, many Indianapolis youth
are left with few options for positive afterschool activities. Some are at
home with no adult care or supervision, not because they do not have great
parents/guardians but because parents/guardians must work long hours to
support their families. Young people need to know that someone cares when
parents/guardians cannot be there. Boys & Girls Clubs offer that and more.
Club programs and services help youth understand they matter. The Clubs
are a safe place to learn and grow – all while having fun. It is a place where
Great Futures are started each day because we’ll do Whatever It Takes.
Our Mission
Boys & Girls Clubs of Indianapolis (BGCI) believes that every young person
deserves to live a life filled with hope and opportunity. Because we care about
our young people, we provide a safe, educational and positive atmosphere
where they can prosper and reach their full potential.
Our Values
Youth Centered: We will put kids first by being mindful of the many issues youth
face today. We will be supportive; proactive; engaging; passionate; focused;
and committed to providing quality services. 2
Ethical: We will operate in an open, honest, and transparent environment.
Accountable: We take full responsibility for our actions and performance. We
will be reliable, produce measurable outcomes and evaluate our programs.
United: We are a team of diverse individuals who work together to accomplish
our mission.
We will encourage, support, and respect each other.

Message from the CEO
Dear Friends,
It has been a tremendous year for Boys & Girls Clubs of Indianapolis as we celebrated
another year of building bright futures! We’ve celebrated with events like Adult
Recess, Fore the Kids, and our Youth of the Year Blue Door Gala. I hope you were able
to join us for one of the events.
For over 127 years, Boys & Girls Clubs of Indianapolis has been providing a safe and
nurturing place for young people, if only for a few key hours after the school bell
rings. The consistent experience the Clubs offer builds confidence and teaches
members life lessons. The Clubs also have given them a voice; it has given them the
tools they need to reach their full potential and become positive, productive citizens.
At the Clubs, children are surrounded by caring people and given a chance to create
meaningful relationships with mentors.
No one should be denied a life-changing experience based on their families’
financial status and we hope you believe the same. By donating, you are giving youth
the chance to work with tutors, connect with friends and explore, but more
importantly, you are giving them a path to be something greater.
Now more than ever before, our youth need this opportunity, so please consider
donating, as we embark on another year. With your help, Great Futures Start Here!
Sincerely,
Maggie A. Lewis, MPA

remained stable
when everything
else in my life was
not. It helped me
to defy predictable
standards and
define my own.”
Meet Clara Oesterling
2019-2020 Youth of the Year
Clara has been a member of our Keenan-Stahl Club for 14 years and
graduated from Southport High School in Spring 2019. They now study at
Ball State University pursuing a degree in English Education.
Without role model Club members like Clara, our footprint could never carry
the same impact in our community as it does. With her words echoing in all
our minds, not only do we celebrate their accomplishments, but we thank
them for making our Blue Doors that much more open.
18#BGCI125 In 2018, we will celebrate 125 years of
dedication to Indianapolis youth. As we prepare
for a year of celebration, we look back at our
history.
