Change a Life.
“One
hundred years from now, it will not matter what my bank account was, how big my house was, or what
kind of car I drove. But the world may be a little better because I was important in the life of a child.”

fun in the lives of children and
their right to a happy, joyful
childhood.
We believe in the
transformational power of ongoing
relationships with caring adults.
We believe our kids can BE
GREAT, with encouragement and
high expectations!
We believe in hope and opportunity
for all young people, especially
those who need us most.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Great futures have been starting here for over 45
years. The Don Moyer Boys & Girls Club serves
youth ages 6 to 18 years old throughout Champaign
County. We are making a difference in the lives of
our future leaders—today’s youth. Our youth!
Through our afterschool programs and day camps
we inspire and enable youth to develop into
productive, healthy, responsible and caring citizens.
The Don Moyer Boys & Girls Club helps kids BE
GREAT every day. You can see it everywhere.
