Jim Caufield

Jim Caufield has devoted his entire life – since the tender age of 6 – to Boys & Girls Clubs. At his Oakland, Calif. Club, Caufield was the quintessential Club kid who spent all of his waking hours there when he wasn't in school.

What started as a safe place for a young boy to spend his afternoons became a lifelong calling. Caufield quickly became a junior staffer and eventually served as a Club director, dedicating himself to providing the same opportunities and support to other youth that he had received.

Today, as Senior Vice President at Boys & Girls Clubs of America's national headquarters, Jim continues to shape the organization's future and ensure that millions of young people across the country have access to life-changing programs and mentorship.
