The Boys and Girls Club of Whittier
The Boys & Girls Club of Whittier provides year round programs for youth ages 7 to 18 years old in the areas of Education and Career Development; Character and Leadership; Health & Life Skills; Sports, Fitness & Recreation; and Visual and Performing Arts.
We currently operate our programs at four locations: the main Clubhouse on Greenleaf Avenue in Whittier, our newly opened 3,000 sq. ft. Teen Center, and two satellite locations at Edwards and Dexter Middle Schools. Due to the locations of all four of our sites, we concentrate on identifying and engaging our city's at-risk youth, although the Boys & Girls Club of Whittier is a place that any child can find safety, encouragement, and the strength to grow and become a contributing member of our community.
In a world that has never seemed more devoid of promise to a disproportionate number of America’s children, the Boys & Girls Club of Whittier provides a tangible measure of hope. The Club offers young people what they need most: adults who respect and listen to them; a safe environment where they can have fun and be themselves; and interesting, constructive activities that channel youthful energy into challenging pursuits.
