We Are Partnered With Boys & Girls Clubs

Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the U.S. Armed Forces have partnered to help children of military families face the unique challenges of military life. Today, this enduring partnership continues to provide children of military personnel with critical youth development programs and activities, giving families the vital support they need.

We here at DTA provide our youth with the same high-quality programs and curriculums that traditional Boys & Girls Clubs provide. In addition, no-cost memberships are provided to children of the approximately 70 percent of families who live outside military installations.
