Stronger together: four Clubs merge to serve more kids in more places
Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Ohio was formed in July 2019 by the merger of Clubs in Cleveland, the Western Reserve (Greater Akron), Lorain County and Erie County. The merger, one of the largest of its type in the nation, positioned BGCNEO to serve more kids in more places.
BGCNEO is governed by a board with representatives from all four merging Clubs and others chosen at large from throughout the region. The boards from the merging Clubs shifted into an advisory role in which members focus primarily on strategy, community needs and championing the mission.
Two BGCC subsidiaries also joined BGCNEO under the merger and retained their existing board structures. They are Cleveland Peacemakers Alliance, which works to stem violence in the city, and Open Tone Music, which provides music, art, dance and theater programming for kids.
