As of 2023, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Monmouth County is bettering the lives of over 1,100 children and teens at its units and school-based sites in Asbury Park, Red Bank, Neptune, and Long Branch.

In 2022, our newest site opened in Long Branch at the Bucky James Community Center.

In the Summer of 2021, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Monmouth County launched a new site at College Achieve Charter School in Neptune.

In 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Club expanded its hours to open as Remote Learning Centers, allowing children to attend virtual school in a safe learning environment.

In 2007 the Red Bank community was identified as an area of need. In September 2009, the Red Bank Unit opened its doors.

In September 2000 a revitalization of the organization resulted in new volunteer and professional leadership. A strategic plan was developed to guide the organization over the next several years.

In September of 1954, a special gymnasium fundraising dinner was held honoring world boxing champion Rocky Marciano, and twenty thousand dollars was raised. With the election of Michael D. Ercolino as president, plans began to develop rapidly, and a contract was awarded to James Vacchiano for the construction of a gymnasium at a cost of $48,000.00.
