Established in 1955, the Variety Boys & Girls Club of Queens (VBGCQ) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering youth and shaping their futures through an array of youth development programs. With a strong focus on inspiring children to discover their passions, VBGCQ offers comprehensive after-school programs, engaging summer camps, and a dedicated teen center. Additionally, they provide opportunities for children to learn essential life skills through their learn-to-swim program.

VBGCQ has been serving western Queens for over 65 years, and when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, they swiftly adapted to virtual afterschool programs and implemented food distribution initiatives to support their kids, families, and community. With an annual reach of over 4,000 youth, VBGCQ strives to make a lasting impact on the lives of the children they serve. Partnering with nonprofit organizations, foundations, and companies, VBGCQ fosters strong relationships within the community while providing enriching experiences for their youth.

From group volunteer activities to in-kind donation drives, there are various opportunities for organizations to get involved and make a difference. Join VBGCQ in their mission to empower the next generation
