History

In early 2012, members of the Community Foundation of West Chester/Liberty recognized the need for a Boys & Girls Club in the area. In 2014, the founding members opened two sites serving grades 2-8.  With the support of the Board of Directors, generous donors and the community, BGCWCL was fortunate enough to open a new facility in January 2018, expanding to service 2nd-12th grade. In fall 2026, BGCWCL will again expand services to students K-12 in West Chester/Liberty, while launching a second Club location in the Mason/Deerfield community.
