The earliest efforts to organize Kingman Boys Club began in 1968 following outbreaks of violence throughout the city after Martin Luther King’s assassination.
Mr. Richard L Peters, a local business owner and 5 other Rotary Club members responded by creating a space where local boys could come to play basketball and get involved in other athletic activities.
Within one year, he and his family donated the clubhouse facility and the land to establish the Club.
Additional contributions from the Peters/Lamb family, the original founders, and various local philanthropic institutions have made it possible for Kingman to establish financial stability and its long term presence in the community.
Since 1969, the Kingman Boys & Girls Club's doors have remained open to the youth of the city.
