The Club generates revenue through various services for the Tribe, providing employment opportunities for staff and on-the-job training for Cherokee youth. Donations are accepted for specific projects, while all other operations are self-supporting. The Club's Administrative Department oversees fiscal, technological, and HR/payroll services for the entire organization and the Cherokee Central School System.

The Ray Kinsland Leadership Institute, located at Club Loop in Cherokee, North Carolina, is a secondary school dedicated to preparing new Cherokee leaders by emphasizing traditional tribal values. With the growth of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians' casino and other tribal organizations, the need for strong leadership skills has become crucial. In response, the Cherokee Preservation Foundation collaborated with the Cherokee Boys Club to establish the Ray Kinsland Leadership Institute in 2016. Named after Mr. Raymond E. Kinsland, a respected figure in the Cherokee community, the institute aims to instill selfless leadership qualities in its students. The institute offers three culturally-based leadership programs: the Cherokee Youth Council for grades 7-12, the Jones-Bowman Leadership Award Program for college undergraduates, and the Right Path Adult Leadership Program.
