Boys & Girls Clubs Of Brea Placentia Yorba Linda

To enable all young people, especially those that need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.

For over 55 years, our Club has been deeply invested in improving the outcomes for youth in our communities. Our programs have been developed by leading youth experts and are proven to reduce factors that lead to negative behaviors and poor academic outcomes.

Our Core Programs include Boys & Girls Club staples: Character and Leadership, Education and Career, Health and Life Skills, The Arts, and Sports, Fitness & Recreation. Our Specialized Initiatives are what make our Boys & Girls Clubs unique from any other youth development program, and we tailor specialized programs to fit the needs of our community.Goals for the coming year include: building teen membership at all sites, building out the Art Shop at the Brea Clubhouse, and increasing daily attendance at all sites. 

According to the Afterschool Alliance, “On school days, the hours between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. are the peak hours for juvenile crime and experimentation with drugs, alcohol, cigarettes and sex. Self-care and boredom can increase the likelihood that a young person will experiment with drugs and alcohol by as much as 50 percent.” Youth who do not participate in after school programs are nearly three times more likely to skip classes than those who do participate. Skipping class is more than just an indicator of potential academic failure, but also of youth who are especially at risk of engaging in detrimental behaviors at the cost of their futures. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Brea-Placentia-Yorba Linda provide positive, constructive activities that address the interests, needs and strengths of these targeted youth, in Clubs designed specifically for them. Our financial needs include: Transportation Program Funding to keep our fleet of vans transporting members to the Clubs after school, Teen Program Funding to keep our Clubs open later to provide teens a safe, supportive place into the evening hours, and Art Shop Funding to create a space where young artists can flourish and connect since art programs are found in fewer and fewer schools.

Dear
Friends and Supporters,

Thank you for your interest in the Boys & Girls Clubs of Brea-Placentia-Yorba
Linda. We offer youth in our communities a safe, supportive place to
become…whether they are athletes, artists, graphic designers, scholars, or all
of the above. Our after school and summer programs offer families an affordable
option, and our current growth focus is with teens. Partnerships with the
Cities of Brea, Placentia, and Yorba Linda, school districts, and service clubs
as well as local businesses help us to serve those families in our communities
that need us the most. We work hard every day to provide opportunities for our
youth to become productive, caring, and responsible citizens.

Thank you for your continued support.

As VP of Resource Development, we always face the challenge of getting the community and potential donors interested in seeing our club and all we have accomplished.  We are very proud of the progress and growth of the club over the last few years.  We have provided an extremely inviting atmosphere for our kids where they continue to grow into adults who are proud and respect themselves.  We are continuing to advertise and invite others to visit and see the progress in person.  We continue to hold fundraisers where we can have others interact with the staff and board members in a fun atmosphere.  The fundraisers also give individuals a chance to see what is happening up to date in our club.  I welcome anyone for a private tour of our amazing club.
