BGHNC enjoys an active and growing Alumni Association in which any former resident is welcome to join and continue building on the relationships formed during his or her time at the Homes. Alumni are welcomed back “home” every year for a reunion and time of fellowship.
We are looking at producing an updated directory for alumni. If you would like to share an update, please use the Alumni Directory Form .
The purpose of the Boys and Girls Homes Alumni Association is to promote the interest and mission of Boys and Girls Homes; to maintain cordial relations between the Homes and the Alumni; to provide ambassador support as needed by Boys and Girls Homes and to encourage financial support of the Boys and Girls Homes operations.
