Volunteer
Members participate in a variety of projects
around the city throughout the year, including
the National Make a Difference Day. The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Nashua has been recognized for its outstanding work with the greater Nashua community. We could not accomplish all of our great work without the help of our volunteers. Our volunteers are former Club members, parents of Club members, and outstanding citizens who are dedicated to giving back to the youth of our community.
The Club is supported by a committed group of people who serve as the Board of Directors and Trustees of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Nashua Charitable Foundation. .
