Each Boys & Girls Club, though chartered by the national Boys & Girls Clubs of America, is an independent non-profit 501c3 organization governed by a local volunteer board of directors. Each Club is responsible for its own budget - including raising the revenue required to provide exceptional services to youth. Our Clubs in Detroit Lakes and Perham raise funds mainly through personal charitable contributions, contributions from the business community and service organizations, and through special events. Check out the fun events we offer all year-round - we'd love to see you!
