If you’re a parent at Boston K–8 School in Aurora, you know how important it is to find safe, affordable after-school care that not only supports your child but helps them thrive. That’s exactly what the Club de niños y niñas de Boston provides—an after-school program located right on your child’s campus, making it one of the most convenient and trusted after-school programs in Aurora.
And at the center of it all is someone families know and love: Club Director Cynthia Duron. Cynthia is truly the heartbeat of the Boston Club. Every afternoon, her favorite moment is greeting kids as they walk through the door—backpacks bouncing; stories ready to spill out. That daily check‑in isn’t just routine for her; it’s the foundation of the safe, welcoming environment she’s created. Her connection with members can be felt in every room of the Club, from the art tables to the homework stations to the gym.
Warm, enthusiastic, and deeply committed to her community, Cynthia is one of the biggest reasons families trust the Boston Club as a place where their kids can learn, grow, and belong.
Meet Cynthia
Cynthia has been part of Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver since 2019, but her journey with young people started long before she ever stepped inside a Club. She joined the organization as an Art Specialist, helping kids tap into their creativity and discover new ways to express themselves. Today, she proudly leads the Boston Boys & Girls Club as its Director—bringing both heart and experience to her role as an experienced youth mentor and trusted after‑school leader.
“I’m the oldest among my siblings and cousins, so caring for kids has always been a big part of my life. Being around kids comes naturally to me,” she shared. “Watching them learn, grow, and gain confidence is incredibly rewarding, and I’ve always loved being someone they can rely on.”
For Cynthia, leading the Boston Club isn’t just a job—it’s a calling. She works intentionally to create a safe, welcoming, and fun environment where every child feels seen and supported. Whether she’s helping a student tackle homework, cheering them on in the gym, or encouraging them to try something new, her passion for youth development shows up in every part of the Club.
“I hope the kids remember they always had at least one adult who was there for them. Someone who listened, supported them, and encouraged them to try new things and grow.”
At the Boston Boys & Girls Club, Cynthia is building exactly that—a place where kids feel cared for, confident, and ready to reach their full potential.

Once inside, they’re welcomed into a world of high‑quality enrichment programs for children that help them discover their interests and build new skills:
- Academic support from caring staff who help with homework, encourage good study habits, and celebrate school success

And that’s just the start.
