BGCBC at MODS Update

Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County (BGCBC) is proud of the impact made from our partnership with the Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS), which provided young people with unique opportunities for hands-on STEM learning, exploration, and educational enrichment.

Effective August 28, 2026, the BGCBC at MODS pilot program is paused. We are grateful to MODS, our families, staff, and community partners who helped make this innovative partnership possible.

BGCBC remains committed to ensuring young people have access to high-quality Club programming. Families who have any questions may contact the Club Operations team for assistance.

For questions or assistance, please contact Marsha Williams, VP of Club Operations, at 954-537-1010.

Thank you for being part of the BGCBC at MODS journey. We look forward to continuing to create meaningful opportunities for young people to learn, grow, and thrive.

Stay tuned
