The Boys & Girls Club of South Central Texas began as the Willie Mae Mitchell Community Opportunity Center on
March 16, 1994. It was renamed after acceptance into official membership
of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America on Nov. 21, 2001.
Today, the private, non-profit
organization is located in San Marcos, Texas and sponsors 11 club sites serving
the youth of Hays, Caldwell, Guadalupe and Comal counties. The San Marcos Unit also operates Texas
Preparatory School, making them one of two clubs in the entire U.S. to sponsor
a charter school.
The school receives top honors
every year and houses a Sylvan Learning Center offering professional tutoring for
the students. The club also provides children
with recreational and developmental life skills through various classes after
school programs.
Volunteer and membership
applications are available to everyone in the community. Monetary donations are always accepted and
greatly appreciated but the donation of time is highly encouraged.
