To promote the positive and healthy development of youth, by providing services in a safe environment that build skills, civility and self-confidence. http://www.boysandgirlsclub.com/  The Boys & Girls Club of Santa Ana provides a positive, healthy learning environment for children in one of the most disadvantaged communities in the United States. Since 1954, the Club has brought stability to neighborhoods that have seen drugs, teen pregnancy and gang-related violence rock their foundations.

Our Club operates out of our central site, a 25,000 square-foot building, but we also run satellite sites at area public schools. Through services provided at these sites, we reach 2,700 children each year. Engaged, passionate, well-trained adults at each site provide monitored academic support, organized physical activities and life-applicable enrichment courses for every child.

We keep costs at $2 per month per member at the Club, which includes every afternoon throughout the entire year, and attendance at all satellite sites is funded by the Santa Ana Unified School District. Extended 12-hour days are available during the summer months, during which time lunch is served free-of-charge. The availability of scholarships ensures that no child is ever turned away.

The Club is more than a haven; it is an opportunity for children from disadvantaged circumstances to move forward as students, athletes, artists and citizens, down paths to bright futures for themselves, their families and their community.
