Satellite Units

Satellite Units

The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Holyoke proudly operates satellite units in partnership with the Holyoke Housing Authority, ensuring youth ages 5 to 13 years old have access to safe, positive programming directly within their neighborhoods. This program provides a structured and supportive environment outside of our main facility where participants can enjoy daily academic support, homework assistance, creative arts and crafts, structured sports recreation, and interactive leadership activities. The program operates Monday through Friday from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Space fills up quickly, so please contact us at 413-534-7366 or visit your local Satellite Unit staff to secure your child's spot today.

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.
