Our facilities are designed with youth in mind
Each clubhouse is a safe haven for our members, designed to be youth-friendly and accessible. We create exceptional spaces that balance areas for individual and small group activities with large, communal spaces that promote recreation and group interaction. In response to the needs of the young people we serve.
The East Los Angeles Boys & Girls Clubs continues to be "The Positive Place For kids" by providing children and teens with positive, building experiences. The programs conducted at our two sites encourage youth to face life's difficult challenges by providing opportunities to help them reach for their dreams.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.

Youth Development Strategy
We believe in youth
We believe that young people from all backgrounds are capable of making the most of their lives and talents when they are given two essential things - opportunities and support. Our clubs provide access to both, using our time-tested youth development strategy. We offer a wide variety of challenging and fun activities, giving kids countless opportunities to pursue existing interests and develop new ones, gaining skills as they go. And our professional staff are there to offer support and guidance, serving as caring mentors, friends and role models.

We support parents and communities
Our clubs are open after school, evenings, holidays and throughout the summer, providing parents and communities with a safe, positive place for their kids and teens to socialize and engage in structured activities. Our staff are professionally trained and skilled at assessing the individual needs and interests of youth and engaging them in appropriate activities. We partner with neighborhood schools, social and health services as well as other youth programs, seeking to bring together resources for kids and share our resources with the neighborhoods we serve.

What we do
The members participate in after-school and summer activities in recreation, education, peer leadership, computer technology, substance abuse prevention, physical fitness and the performing arts.
