Growing Children for Life
About us
The mission of Boys and Girls Country of Houston, Inc. (BGC) is to change the lives of children from families in crisis by loving and nurturing them in a Christian home environment, raising them to become self-sustaining and contributing adults. Vision: That every child has a place to grow up and a sense of being home. Located 35 miles northwest of downtown Houston, Boys and Girls Country can accommodate 88 children ages 5 to 18. Children live on campus in cottages with trained Teaching Parents and attend public schools. Poverty, abuse and neglect all have a negative effect on children and can impede their chances of personal success. Boys and Girls Country addresses a child’s well-being, helping to break the cycle of poverty for our children by providing a secure, stable, Christian home environment with an emphasis on education, building healthy relationships, and setting goals for the future. We do this with broad-based financial support, hundreds of volunteers, and the prayers of thousands.
