Building Great Futures Every Day
Our Club offers a safe and enjoyable alternative for kids when schools are closed, ensuring they are not home alone. With a commitment since 1954 to serving the youth in Madison, IN, our programs run during after-school hours, holiday breaks, and summer break, catering to over 150 youth daily. We pride ourselves on three core program areas – Healthy Lifestyles, Academic Success, and Good Character & Active Citizenship. At our Club, we believe in diverse approaches to help kids succeed, relying on caring mentors, a consistent and safe environment, and innovative, quality programs. We go above and beyond to do whatever it takes to ensure all kids have a great future.
Our History
The origins of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Jefferson County began with Lide White, who dedicated her life to providing a safe and supportive place for young people in Madison through tutoring, mentorship, and care. What started as her passion for helping local youth grew into the Club we know today, first operating in what is now the Crystal Beach building, then later moving to what is now the Visitors Center before finding its permanent home in the early 2000s at our current facility.
In honor of the remarkable woman whose compassion and dedication impacted so many lives, our facility proudly carries the name Lide White Memorial Unit. Her legacy continues to inspire our mission each and every day.
