The
Boys & Girls Clubs of Brea - Placentia - Yorba Linda
have been providing positive places for children to
go during non-school hours, particularly when there
is no
adult at home, since 1962 - long before the word "latchkey"
became a part of our vocabulary!
We provide much more than quality supervision at an
affordable cost;
character-building, education, and enrichment opportunities
are recurrent themes in all of our core programs. Orange
County leads the nation in the need for care for children,
as dictated by the high cost of housing, the large percentage
of single-parent families, and the increasing number
of immigrant families. The sole purpose of the Boys
& Girls Clubs of Placentia - Yorba Linda is to provide
youth with the highest quality programs to meet this
critical need.
We realize that our role is important in today's world,
because families
depend on us to take an active part in their children's
lives. This means that in addition to teaching arts
and crafts, cooking and sports, we
must teach socialization and living skills in a positive
and nurturing
environment, and provide homework assistance and academic
support to assure success in school and in life.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Brea - Placentia - Yorba
Linda is a proud member of Boys
& Girls Clubs of America, which serves more
than 3.3 million children at over 2,851 club locations
in the United States and abroad.
