Boys & Girls Clubs Of La Habra Brea

To help youth of all backgrounds, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. Our organization creates an environment that encourages, enlightens, and builds the self-esteem of the children in the community through Character and Leadership Development, Education and Career Development, Health Skills, the Arts and Sports, Fitness and Recreation.

BGCLH has been serving youth from La Habra, Brea and Fullerton in North Orange County and East Whittier and La Habra Heights in Los Angeles County since 1955.  We operate in a 32,000 sq. ft. facility that includes two junior high size gymnasiums, a recreation room, community multi-purpose room, teen center, recording studio, dance studio, education center, Digital Fabrication Lab, music classroom, teaching kitchen, kindergarten and first grade (K-1) recreation room, and a newly renovated Center of Hope with arts and crafts, DIY Stem, and an area for social-emotional health.  We conduct our after school programs at five elementary schools in the Lowell Joint School District and nine ASES units located on the campuses of the La Habra City School District.   BGCLH programs support academic, social and physical development and are offered Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. 

Through our programs, BGCLH Club members develop leadership skills, positive behavior, life skills and a healthy lifestyle. We engage children in fun, educational activities that support their academic success, and expand their thinking about the possibilities for their future.

BGCLH's priority goal is for all youth involved in the Club to graduate from high school ready for college, trade school, military or employment. We provide a safe space and educational support programs for youth who come from predominantly Latino/Hispanic households, where poverty, housing density and shared living conditionals, adult literacy, high crime rates, drug use and family dysfunction often affect the stability of the home. 80% of families qualify for federal free/reduced meals, 88% of students in La Habra are Hispanic/Latinx, and 31% are English Language Learners.

I am very proud to lead the Boys & Girls Clubs of La Habra and serve this community. As a former Club kid, I know just how important the programs and support that we offer can make all the difference in a young person's life. We strive to serve the youth in our community and make our programs relevant in order to help kids be the best that they can be!

The staff work tirelessly and beyond the call of duty to see that every child is given the opportunity to not only belong, but to thrive! The board of directors is engaged, informed, and 100% committed in their role. I am so proud to be part of such a highly respected and valued organization.
