WHY WE SERVE

The Boys & Girls Clubs of North Louisiana officially launched at the start of 2019. The Northeast Louisiana club, located at 500 Evergreen Street, is the oldest club in the state of Louisiana. The site started off Natchitoches Street in 1962 before moving to its current location in 1972. The Boys & Girls Clubs of North Central was founded in December 1997. The first unit opened was the Eddie Robinson Unit in Grambling. The need for extensive facility repairs prompted the club to relocate to Ruston, where it was housed at a local church and then moved to its present location of 300 Memorial Drive. After two years of negotiating the North Central and Northeast Louisiana regions merging, the organization started operating as one in January of 2019. The merger gives both areas of the state a way to capitalize on leadership opportunities and resources, as well as streamline administrative and back-office costs.
