Celebrating 90 Years of Impact: Boys & Girls Clubs of Johnson County Invites Alumni Back to Franklin

For nearly 90 years, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Johnson County has been a cornerstone of the Franklin, Indiana community—providing a safe, supportive place where kids and teens learn, grow, and build the confidence to succeed.

As we approach this important milestone, we are taking time to reflect on the people who helped shape our story—our alumni.

If you ever walked through the doors of the Franklin Boys & Girls Club, played a game in the gym, received help with homework, or built lifelong friendships here, you are part of our legacy.


A Legacy Built by Club Kids—Then and Now

Since opening our doors in Franklin, IN, the Boys & Girls Club has focused on helping young people reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens. That mission remains just as strong today.

Our programs are intentionally designed to support three key outcomes:


Academic Success


Helping youth graduate on time, stay motivated to learn, and prepare for today’s workforce through programs like Power Hour, Digital Literacy, STEM, and academic enrichment.


Healthy Lifestyles

Encouraging social, emotional, and physical well-being through sports, recreation, wellness activities, and healthy decision-making.


Good Character & Citizenship

Building leadership skills, confidence, and a sense of responsibility so Club kids grow into adults who give back to their communities.

From arts and media making to STEM, leadership development, and career readiness, today’s Club continues to evolve—while staying rooted in the same values alumni remember.
