The Boys and Girls Club of the Foothills opened
in 1994 with the goal of enabling young people, especially those who need us
most, to reach their potential as caring, responsible, productive
citizens.
For
17 years the Club has provided guidance and constructive after school
activities for youth living in Monrovia and Duarte. With special
concern for children from disadvantaged circumstances, the Club helps children
develop those qualities needed to become responsible citizens and leaders.
The Club provides children with the
opportunity to reach their potential through programs designed to
develop character, build confidence and attain skills needed to mature into
productive civic-minded and responsible citizens. All of our
programs are based on a youth development strategy that builds self-confidence
and self-esteem while fostering a sense of belonging, competence, usefulness
and influence. There are five Core Program
Areas: Education and Career Development; Character and
Leadership Development; Health and Life Skills; The Arts; Sports, Fitness and Recreation.
