What are the Boys & Girls Clubs of Johnston County?

Boys & Girls Clubs of Johnston County serve young people in Selma and Smithfield through after-school and summer programs.

As Johnston County grows, opportunity isn't shared evenly. The Clubs help close that gap, giving local kids mentors and the chance to build the skills that shape their future.
