Now more than ever, investing in our youth matters. The Variety Boys and Girls Club of Queens has been built on the mission to protect our youth and encourage their growth. We serve over 4,000 youth in Queens each year. We pride ourselves on providing the best quality programs to the community. We offer programs in academic enhancement, STEM, agriculture, and the arts.  

We have a program for every child and adult at any skill level and age. We have two great affiliate programs: Sky Farm LIC and QCAN. Sky Farm LIC grows over 4,000 pounds of fresh food every season — all given away free — while welcoming 1,200+ students and families to learn where their food comes from and connect with nature through classes and events. QCAN brings that same community spirit through art, offering live performances, workshops, and creative programs for all ages. Whether you're planting seeds or performing on stage, both organizations believe that everyone deserves a space to learn, grow, and create.

At the heart of it all, VBGCQ is built by the community, for the community — and everything we do, from the classroom to the office, is driven by one purpose: empowering the next generation to be the best they can be.
