The 49th Annual Boys & Girls Club Selma Railroad Run 5K

The mission of Boys & Girls Clubs of Johnston County is to help young people reach their full potential as responsible, caring, and productive citizens.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Johnston County supports the intellectual, creative, and social-emotional development of Johnston County’s underserved elementary, middle, and high school members. We enable these young people to navigate school successfully, prepare optimistically for a lifetime of learning, career success, and community involvement, and create partnerships with parents to empower their children’s achievements.

We believe children underachieve not because they lack potential but because they cannot access the same opportunities, experiences, and support as adequately resourced children. In short, we are not born smart; we ‘grow’ smart. Boys & Girls Clubs of Johnston County delivers programming to more than 200 students ages 6-16. It is designed to help them learn the skills and attitudes they need to grow academically, succeed in their chosen careers, and give back to the community.
