Boys & Girls Clubs of the Emerald Coast

Boys & Girls Club of the Emerald Coast (BGCEC) is a youth development organization providing services to children ages 5-18 at Clubs throughout the Emerald Coast. BGCEC South Walton Club is located in a new building off Hwy 331 behind Coastal Branch Library.

The Boys and Girls Club of the Emerald Coast provides an environment where children can thrive. Children in grades K-12 are all welcome, and academic success is the most important thing at the club. Upon arrival each day after school, homework is first on the docket. If a child needs help in a subject, teachers provide help and support. Healthy lifestyles and good character and citizenship are two additional programs implemented to build a successful lifestyle.
