“It's a great place to have fun, with all kinds of stuff.”
Boys & Girls Clubs were built to be your place.
The Clubs are set up to be laid-back and fun. You can grab a snack after school, spend some time in the computer lab, play a little foosball in the games room, get help with homework…or just hang out with friends. We’re all about giving you cool things to do and cool people to do them with.
Official Member
When you join the Club, you’ll get your own membership card that you use every time you come to the Club. You can come as often or as little as you want to, it’s your call. The Club will be there for you when you need it.
Club Staff
The people who work at the Clubs are understanding and down to earth. They know their stuff so they can help you get through your homework, or maybe they’ll just shoot some pool with you or listen when you need to vent about a bad day.
Programs and Activities
There are always a million things going on at the Clubs. On any given day there are sports activities, maybe a cooking class, an art project, or a computer activity such as mixing your own music or cutting a video. Beyond the everyday activities, we’ve got other programs like the Keystone Club and the Torch Club, groups of kids that meet to help volunteer in the community. In the summer there are always fun field trips to go on, like a trip to Wild Waves or the Pacific Science Center. You should call up the Club nearest you and see what kind of things they have going on.
Summer Camps
There are bunch of fun summer camps to choose from. Check with your Club to find out what they’ve got on the schedule for the summer and how much the camps cost.
What does it cost to join the Club?
We work hard to keep things affordable for you and your family. The cost to join the Club for a full year is an average of $20. Some Clubs charge a little more and others a little less. If that seems like something you can’t afford, then be sure to talk to the staff at the Club; we’ll try to work something out so you can still be a member.
Kids FAQ
What kinds of things are there to do at the Club?
When you come to the Club you can find all kinds of fun things to do. We’ve got computer labs, art rooms, and sports activities. Every Club also has a games room with pool tables, carpet ball, foosball, air hockey, and things like that. The Club can also help you get your homework done and can give you a little tutoring on those tricky subjects. Also, you’ll always get a snack at the Club when you come in after school.
How do I become a member?
The best way to become a member is to go in to your local Club after school and talk to any member of the staff. You’ll need to fill out a form or two, pay a small fee, and then you’ll be the proud owner of your own membership card to the Club. That card will allow you to come to the Club every single day if you want to.
How will I get home at the end of the day?
Usually kids at the Club will either walk home from the Club if they live close enough, or their mom or dad will come to get them at the end of the day.
How do I get to the Club after school?
We have vans that come to the school to pick you up. You or your parents will need to talk to someone at the Club to let them know that you’d like to be picked up from school. Some kids also walk to the Club after school if it’s really close and your parents are okay with it.
