As the Boys & Girls Club of Southeast Kansas approaches its 100th anniversary in 2026, the organization is reflecting on a century of impact and preparing for an exciting future. Since opening its doors in 1926, the Club has served as a safe, supportive place for youth and families across Coffeyville and the surrounding communities — helping generations of young people learn, grow, and succeed.
To mark this incredible milestone, the Club is inviting community members to be part of the celebration by sharing their stories. Alumni, parents, supporters, and friends are encouraged to submit short video testimonies, photos, or written reflections about how the Boys & Girls Club has made a difference in their lives.
Stories can be submitted by email, through Facebook Messenger, or by contacting the Club for other sharing options. These memories will be used to help showcase the lasting legacy of the organization and highlight its ongoing mission to build great futures for local youth.
As part of the centennial celebration, the Boys & Girls Club of Southeast Kansas has also set a bold goal — to raise $1 million to sustain and strengthen the Club for the next 100 years.
Proudly recognized as the oldest Boys & Girls Club in the state of Kansas, the Coffeyville-based organization continues to serve as a cornerstone of opportunity and support.
“Together, we can preserve and grow this legacy so that future generations can benefit just as past generations have,” said the Club’s CEO. “Thank you for being part of our history — and our future.”
