Our Story
Founded in 1988 as Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Spartanburg, Kids Upstate was born from the vision of community leaders dedicated to enhancing the workforce through youth development. Initially welcomed into Spartanburg District 7 schools, the organization expanded its reach, merging with Boys & Girls Club of Cherokee County in 2006 to form a united front for local youth. Today, Kids Upstate operates in three Spartanburg Districts and Cherokee County schools, providing vital support to children in need.
