  • Come celebrate Jelleff’s nearly 100 years of service to the Georgetown community.
  • Help raise funds to support the relocation of Jelleff Boys & Girls Club during the two-year renovation period.

In 1931, the Jelleff Recreation Center Branch was established. Originally called the Georgetown Boys Club, it consisted of two rooms over a grocery store at 31st and M Streets, NW., Eight years later, with the assistance of the Rotary Club once more, a new home was created a couple of blocks away and with it came a name change, the Georgetown Branch of the Boys Club of Washington. In 1953, the club moved to its present location and was formally named in honor of local businessman Mr. Frank R. Jelleff, President Emeritus of the Boys Club of Washington.

Soon, the DC Government will demolish and rebuild the Jelleff Boys & Girls Club in Georgetown as part of a city-approved renovation project. Join us in a celebration of Jelleff’s many memories!
