Our Mission: To provide a safe, supportive place where children and youth can experience new opportunities, overcome barriers, build positive relationships, and develop confidence and skills for life. Our Vision: All children and youth discover and achieve their dreams and grow up to be healthy, successful, and active participants in our communities. BGC Peel – Boys and Girls Club has been changing the lives of children, youth, & families across Mississauga, Brampton & Caledon since 1983. Our Legacy As a not-for-profit, charitable organization, our purpose & impact over the past 40+ years has been and continues to be a positive service provider & partner for the 44,000 members we have served during this time. Our valued & loyal members come from all walks of life, many from our vulnerable & marginalized communities across the Region, with some families seen as at-risk. BGC Peel continues to be an affirming community where EVERYONE can benefit from our services and programs. We are unique in that 80% of our youth leaders began as members with us as young as 6.Twitter @bgcpeelFacebook https://www.facebook.com/BGCPeel/Instagram @bgcpeelBGC Peel utilizes a respectful, inclusive, and engaging approach to serving the community. A safe place is provided for children and youth to engage in fun, impactful activities that strengthen their capacity for learning, leadership, and well-being, in addition to a Commitment to Equality, Diversity & Inclusion. BGC Peel is committed to building a sustainable organization that embraces diversity, actively pursues equity through policies and programming, and adopts an inclusive environment. The core values of belonging, respect, encouragement, support, working together, and speaking out are the standard by which all BGC Peel Club services are measured. We value diversity across several intersectional dimensions, including race, ethnicity, socioeconomic background, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious beliefs, disability status, and age. We respect and value diverse life experiences and cultures as we work with children, youth, and families across the community. We strive to ensure an accepting environment with positive relationships. Our unwavering belief comes from knowing that our differences are our strengths, and from there, we will build healthy, supportive relationships with caring adult role models to positively influence our members’ life paths.
