Satellite Units

The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Holyoke proudly operates satellite units in partnership with the Holyoke Housing Authority, ensuring youth have access to safe, positive programming directly within their neighborhoods.

Why Satellite Units Matter

Many youth are often left to find recreation and socialization on their own. Satellite units ensure that young people have a safe place, caring mentors, and opportunities to grow. These locations bring the Club experience directly into each community.
