WHAT WE DO

Welcome To

Salah M. Hassanein Variety Boys & Girls Club of Queens

The Mission of the Club was written by our founding committee in 1955:

“ To provide children of all backgrounds with the skills and abilities that will develop in them the qualities of self-esteem and self-confidence, which are needed to become responsible citizens and leaders”

Variety Boys & Girls Club of Queens is the largest after-school program in Western Queens. With more than 1,000 members paying $25(or less if the family cannot afford it) we care for nearly 200 children during our after-school program; which runs from 2:30pm-7pm daily. Our goal is to bring more affordable opportunitites to our children, and with the help of our many supporters, we plan to make that dream a reality. The Variety Boys and Girls Club has a soft spot for providing worthwhile and meaningful activities and programs to the children and youth of the community.

At the Variety Boys and Girls Club of Queens, youngsters enjoy a safe, active and positive environment as a constructive alternative to the streets.
