Our Mission
To enable all youth, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens.
About the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Diamond Hills
After much hard work and determination, in August 2019 the Mountainburg Boys & Girls Club became a Unit of the Alma Club and opened its doors to youth for the first time. In October 2019 the Boys & Girls Club of the Alma Area and the Boys & Girls Club of Paris finalized merging and the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Diamond Hills was born.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Diamond Hills has four locations - the Alma Unit, the Mountainburg Unit, the Mulberry Unit, and the Paris Unit. Each of our Clubs offers programs designed to be fun and engaging while building skills and confidence for a successful future.
