About GRAND RAPIDS YOUTH COMMONWEALTH INC

Grand Rapids Youth Commonwealth Inc operates as the local Boys & Girls Clubs organization (doing business as Boys & Girls Clubs of Grand Rapids Youth Commonwealth), running multiple neighborhood club sites and Camp O’Malley to provide after-school, summer and leadership programming for children and teens in Grand Rapids, MI. The organization focuses programming across five core areas — academic success, good character & citizenship, healthy lifestyles, arts, and sports/recreation — and partners with local institutions (including the Grand Rapids Police Department and community funders) to connect members and families to services and supports. In recent years the organization has grown financially (FY2024 revenue approximately $3.7M with audited financial statements) and launched a major facility revitalization for its Seidman site while continuing daily after-school and summer operations across its Steil, Paul I. Phillips and Seidman clubs and Camp O’Malley.

Launched a community capital campaign and secured federal and state appropriations to support a roughly $4.5M renovation of the Seidman facility to modernize spaces, add a commercial kitchen, improve the gym and create dedicated age-appropriate program areas (construction planned in phases beginning 2025).

Sustained audited financial growth

Reported multi-year revenue growth and audited financial statements (FY2024 revenue approximately $3.7M and increasing net assets), reflecting expanded fundraising and grant support that sustained program operations and capital projects.

Camp O’Malley summer access
