Who We Are
About Us:
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Wyoming provides after-school programming to foster positive youth development, helping them build trusting relationships with adults and peers and providing academic support through enrichment, homework help, and opportunities to discover and cultivate interests. Our eleven sites in Casper, Buffalo, Dubois, Glenrock, and Riverton open the doors to a safe, inviting environment for kids who need us most.
Our Mission:
To inspire all youth, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring citizens.

We serve children in kindergarten through high school in an atmosphere in which all children believe they can succeed empowering them to achieve our three priority outcomes:
Academic Success

for college, a trade school, the military, or a career.
Good Character
& Citizenship
Club youth develop attitude, integrity, grit, and purpose and discover how to live authentically and ethically.

Youth learn positive behaviors that nurture health and well-being. They receive tools and resources to face peer pressure.
Our History
Mrs. English joined forces with two Casperites, John Fanto and Charles Hancock. With their help, the Casper Boys Club opened on November 19, 1969. In its early years, the Club moved several times until 1975 when ground was broken on the Club’s first permanent location at 353 West A Street. Soon, because of continued growth, a second location was opened on East H Street. Under the guidance of Chief Professional Officer Ashley Bright and a visionary board of directors, a brand new 34,000 square foot facility was opened in early 2000 where the Club is now headquartered at 1701 East K Street.
Today, BGCCW hosts 11 sites in Casper, Mills, Glenrock, Buffalo, Dubois, and Riverton. BGCCW is fortunate to have standalone properties in each of the communities they serve.
During its 57 years of operation, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Wyoming has made an impact on the lives of over 100,000 youth. Thousands of kids will be served this year, and with the Club’s continued dedication to serving the youth of Central Wyoming, we are confident that our impact will continue to positively affect our community for many more years to come!
