Our first Clubhouse was opened in Somerville for 20 boys. In 1982, we officially began serving girls and reopened as the Somerville Boys & Girls Club. In the 1990s, we opened a Clubhouse in Medford. In the years following, we changed locations, expanded to neighboring communities, and went by different names.For the past 15 years, we were the Boys & Girls Clubs of Middlesex County. In 2015, we made big changes in our organization to re-focus on serving Medford and Somerville. Now, in 2016, we have returned to a name that demonstrates our long-term commitment to the youth in these communities – we are now the Boys & Girls Clubs of Medford and Somerville!
