Boys & Girls Club Waives Membership Fees to Open Doors for More Youth Across Collier County

The Boys & Girls Club of Collier County (BGCCC) announced today that membership fees will remain waived indefinitely, reinforcing the organization’s commitment to ensuring every child in Collier County has access to safe, supportive, and enriching after-school and summer programming, regardless of financial circumstances.

By eliminating membership fees, BGCCC is opening its doors wider to serve more youth and families, removing financial barriers that can prevent children from accessing critical academic, leadership, and wellness opportunities. The Club believes no child should be turned away from the Club experience due to cost, and this decision reflects a long-term investment in the success of Collier County’s youth and community.

“Our services are vital to building a stronger future for Collier County families,” said Paul Donahue, CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Collier County. “By waiving membership fees, we are ensuring that every child, regardless of their family’s financial situation, has the opportunity to walk through our doors, feel welcomed, and benefit from the programs, mentorship, and support that help them learn, grow, and thrive.”

The Boys & Girls Club of Collier County serves 4,600 children and teens annually through programs designed to help youth learn, lead, and thrive. With locations in Naples and Immokalee, BGCCC provides a safe, inclusive environment where young people can explore interests, build character, and prepare for a bright future.
