Mission Statement

Established in 1955, the Variety Boys & Girls Club of Queens (VBGCQ) continues to carry out our tradition of uplifting and empowering generations of young people. Our mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. We specialize in providing children ages 6-18 with the highest quality programming and pride ourselves in being the largest youth development organization in Western Queens, serving over 4,000 young people each year. Whether a child dreams of becoming an engineer, a filmmaker or an all-star athlete, our afterschool, summer camp, aquatics and weekend programs support them in realizing their aspirations.

About This Cause

The Variety Boys & Girls Club of Queens offers young people ages 6-18 a safe haven to learn, play and grow into tomorrow's leaders. Our mission to build great futures manifests itself everyday through our core service areas: Academic Support, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), Healthy Living and the Arts. On a typical day, VBGCQ provides a comprehensive range of structured activities including homework help, swimming and sports, coding, engineering, gourmet cooking, drama, dance, media production and so much more. In particular, VBGCQ emphasizes STEM exposure with the addition of our state-of-the-art makerspace and technology lab. VBGCQ’s 30,000 square foot Club is open to the community 7-days a week and includes an indoor swimming pool, makerspace lab, computer room, teaching kitchen, gym, auditorium, art studio, dance studio, film studio, and outdoor playground.
