The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego is much more than a place for kids to go after school. We are a community dedicated to nurturing the potential of every child through programs that build healthy habits, promote good character, and cultivate academic success. Our mission is to empower youth to become the leaders, thinkers, and responsible citizens of tomorrow.
Our Values: Building a Strong Foundation for Life
At the core of our work are values that help shape our Club members into well-rounded individuals:
- Healthy Habits: We emphasize the importance of a healthy lifestyle, combining physical activity with nutritional education to instill lifelong wellness practices.
- Good Character: Integrity, responsibility, and respect are the cornerstones of our character-building programs, helping members grow into compassionate and engaged citizens.
- Academic Success: Beyond homework help, our programs foster a love of learning and ensure that every child has the tools to excel in school and beyond.
These values are more than just words—they are the guiding principles behind our efforts to create lasting, positive change in the lives of our members.
Why This Matters: Shaping the Future
The programs at Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego are designed with a clear goal in mind: to produce positive, measurable outcomes that prepare our youth for the future. Our focus on Academic Success, Healthy Lifestyles, and Good Character & Citizenship is essential for creating a solid foundation that will support children as they grow into adulthood.
For our youth, these outcomes mean better opportunities, greater confidence, and a clearer path to success. By focusing on education, health, and character, we are equipping our members with the skills they need to navigate life’s challenges and seize its opportunities.
