WHO WE ARE
Need and Population Served
Kips Bay addresses many critical needs of children, adolescents, and young adults. These needs include:
a safe place where they can “belong”
a place to play and grow socially with peers
adult mentoring
a place to challenge oneself physically and intellectually and be recognized for accomplishments, and opportunities to give back something to others.
History
The Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club turns 102 years old in 2017. We were born a century earlier on February 8, 1915, when the Kips Bay Neighborhood Association met to discuss the problem of roving gangs of boys disturbing the neighborhood. The Association resolved to create a Boys Club to address the problem and help the boys in the neighborhood. In the first year, a few volunteers took regular turns mentoring 105 boys while organizing recreational activities for them, such as boxing matches and games.
