    • Club Rules & Expectations

      At the Boys & Girls Club, our goal is to create a safe, respectful, and fun place for every member. To make that possible, we ask all members to follow these expectations:

      • Respect the rights of others, including members, staff, volunteers, and our community.

      • Take care of Club and community property — do not damage or steal.

      • Treat others the way you want to be treated.

      • Help keep our Club safe.

      • Make smart choices — and have fun!

      Discipline Policy

      We believe discipline should always be respectful and private. Children will never be embarrassed in front of their peers. Our goal is to guide behavior in a positive way while keeping the Club safe for everyone.

      Step Process:

      1. Verbal Warning – staff will talk privately with the member about their behavior.

      2. Written Warning – if the behavior continues, staff will document it and review expectations with the member.

      3. Strike System – strikes are used for repeated or more serious behaviors:

        • 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Strike: Suspension for the following day (one full day).

        • 4th Strike: Suspension for one week.

        • 5th Strike: Suspension for one month.

      Earning Back a Strike: A member may have a Strike removed after one month of positive, strike-free behavior.

      Immediate Suspension (Non-Negotiable)

      Some behaviors are serious enough to result in an automatic suspension. These include:

      • Physical violence or fighting

      • Possession of drugs, alcohol, or tobacco

      • Possession of weapons of any kind

      These behaviors will result in two automatic Strikes, immediate removal from the program, and a minimum one-week suspension.

      Our Commitment

      We want every child to feel safe, supported, and respected at the Club. Any member who consistently shows a lack of respect for others through words or actions may be asked to leave the program. We ask parents and guardians to partner with us in reinforcing the importance of mutual respect. These rules are in place to protect every child’s experience and ensure the Club is a place where everyone can thrive.
