SERVING THOSE WHO NEED US MOST
PHAIR FAMILY LEADERSHIP CENTER AT THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS
The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Northern Indiana Corridor is expanding! We’ve acquired a 16,000-square-foot facility at 250 E. Sample St., South Bend—formerly the Ivy Tech Administrative Building—to launch the The Phair Family Leadership Center at the Boys & Girls Clubs.
With 700 students on our waitlist, the need for our programs in St. Joseph County is greater than ever. The Phair Family Leadership Center at the Boys & Girls Clubs will help bridge the gap and provide critical services to the youth who need us most.
What the The Phair Family Leadership Center at the Boys & Girls Clubs Will Offer:
Daytime Support for Students – Partnering with local schools, we’ll provide academic support, leadership development, and mental health services for students facing suspensions.
Tween Center – After school, up to 200 students (grades 4-7) will have a dedicated space for learning, emotional support, and a pathway to our downtown Teen Center—helping us reduce our waitlist.
Training Hub – A central location for staff development, equipping nearly 400 youth development professionals to deliver high-quality programs across our region.
This is more than just a building—it’s a game-changer for the youth of St. Joseph County! Stay tuned for updates as we bring this vision to life.
