Little Falls Boys & Girls Club
Since 2009, the Little Falls Boys & Girls Club has been an important part of the community. We provide a safe and welcoming environment in which kids and teens have fun, participate in life-changing programs and build supportive relationships with peers and caring adults.
The Little Falls Boys & Girls Club became a part of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Minnesota in October 2023. This partnership empowers the Little Falls Club to expand programs and services in order to have a greater impact on youth served in the community.
Our Mission: To do whatever it takes to empower all youth to reach their full potential.
