Our History
Boys & Girls Clubs of Muncie has been a cornerstone of the community since opening its doors in 1933. Founded by Branch McClung and a group of sorority women, the first meeting was in a 3rd floor room of the Anthony Building on the corner of Jackson and Walnut. In 1951 the Madison Street location was built and opened under the name of Muncie Boys Club. While girls could attend the Boys Club, the name was officially changed nationally and locally to The Muncie Boys & Girls Club in 1990. In 2018, the Muncie Boys & Girls Club merged with the Roy C. Buley Community Center to strengthen its ability to reach those who need us most thereby becoming the Boys & Girls Clubs of Muncie.
Serving some 600 youth, Boys & Girls Clubs of Muncie provide a safe, structured and positive environment for young people after school, during holidays and summer vacation.
