Boys & Girls Club Enrollment: Apply Early for 2026-2027 | Club Update

As families prepare for the upcoming school year, Boys & Girls Club of Collier County (BGCCC) is encouraging parents, guardians, and caregivers to apply early for the 2026-2027 academic year. With expanded transportation options and nearly $400,000 in campus improvements at its Naples and Immokalee locations, BGCCC says applying early is the best way to secure a spot before the school year begins.

The application window will open to current Club members during an exclusive early access period from June 29 – July 2. Applications will then open to the public on July 4. 

“We encourage families not to wait until August to start thinking about after-school care and enrichment opportunities,” said Paul Donahue, CEO of Boys & Girls Club of Collier County. “The Club provides a safe, supportive environment where young people can continue learning and develop the skills they need to succeed both in and out of the classroom.”

Phase 1 of its campus revitalization project was launched in the spring, with renovations on track to be completed before the start of the school year at both campuses. The refreshed spaces will enhance the experience for more than 4,600 children and teens, providing updated environments where they can learn, grow, and thrive.

BGCCC is also encouraging middle and high school students to apply early. “Middle school and high school are formative years that can shape a young person’s future,” said Donahue. “Our goal is to ensure teens have access to caring mentors, leadership opportunities, academic resources, and programs that help prepare them for college, careers, and life.”

Families are encouraged to apply before July 31 to secure their child’s place. For more information about membership, transportation, and program offerings, visit BGCCC.com or call 239-325-1700.
