About Young Advocates

Young Advocates is a young professionals organization focused on developing awareness and interest in the Boys & Girls Clubs serving Wake County.

In 2002, Young Advocates began its mission to bring awareness for the Boys & Girls Clubs through fundraising and social events.  Eight years later, YA has become a premier young professionals organization hosting large scale events, corporate socials, and Club-based events to support the mission and vision of the Boys & Girls Clubs.  This year, YA has set the bar high with creative, innovative ideas to bring more awareness to the Triangle about the Boys & Girls Clubs and Young Advocates.

About Boys & Girls Clubs

The Boys & Girls Clubs is a place, an actual neighborhood-based building, designed solely for youth development purposes.  The mission of the Boys & Girls Clubs is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.

The Boys & Girls Clubs are open every day after school and on Saturdays; whenever kids have free time and need positive, productive outlets.  Research has shown that the most critical time in a child’s life is between 3 and 8 p.m.  – this is where the Boys & Girls Clubs fill the void with structured, enriching, and exciting after school programs.

Since 1967, volunteers have made it possible for the Boys & Girls Clubs to serve more than 4,200 youth 6 to 18 years of age in seven Clubs and a Summer Day Camp in Wake County. The Boys & Girls Clubs is a nonprofit privately funded 501(c)3 organization and depends on investments and volunteers to accomplish its mission.
