Our History

Our not for profit organization has been operating in Fairbury since 1985. We have two other locations located in Chatsworth and Chenoa.  We offer sport programs to all members 4 years old through 6th grade. We currently offer soccer, basketball, t-ball, baseball, softball and volleyball.  We also offer teens a positive place to go two nights a week.
 
The Club operates with a responsible, caring and professional staff (listed below) and a governing Board of Directors.  The board of directors is made of 9 people and we are always looking for volunteers to join us on our crusade to keep the Boys and Girls Club of Prairie Central moving forward.  We operate on a tight budget with the help of generous local sponsors, the Community Fund, membership and sport fees, and the TeenReach Grant.
