For the Community
A year-round resource for the island
The Nantucket Boys & Girls Club exists to serve the youth of our island, but our commitment doesn’t stop there. For the Community is our invitation to Nantucket residents to take part in Club offerings that extend beyond traditional after-school hours.
We believe in making the most of our space by welcoming adults and community members to participate in recreational activities, stay active, and connect with one another. Whether you're here for a game, a walk, or to host your own gathering, the Club is proud to be a year-round resource for the island.

Join us every Monday evening this summer for Mahjong Mondays — a weekly gathering that combines friendly play, community connection, and philanthropy. Open to all skill levels, each $20 session includes mahjong play, wine, and light snacks, with beginner instruction available most weeks. Proceeds directly support Club kids and programs.
Every Monday, July 6 – August 31 · 4:00–6:00 PM
Playground Pop-Ins
Drop by this summer for one of our casual Playground Pop-Ins — informal gatherings at the Club designed to welcome families new to Nantucket and the Boys & Girls Club. Kids enjoy open playground time while parents connect with Club staff, learn about programs, and see firsthand the community we've built for island youth.
Each meet-up features light refreshments, fun weekly activities like face painting and lawn games, and a warm, no-pressure introduction to everything the Club has to offer.
Free · 8:30–10:00 AM · Nantucket Boys & Girls Club Playground, 61 Sparks Ave.
Dates:
July 12 · July 19 · August 2 · August 9
