PROGRAM OVERVIEW
For ten years, the Boys & Girls Club of the Long Beach Peninsula has provided a safe, reliable, positive, and fun
place for kids to go after school. Club programs promote and enhance the development of youth by instilling a
sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence.
We focus on promoting social and emotional development of Club members in a safe, fun atmosphere. We offer
daily homework help and special clubs that encourage youth try and learn new skills.We run evidence-based
programs like Positive Action, Girls' Circle, and Passport to Manhood, as well as locally-developed programs that
focus on everything from physical fitness, arts & crafts, life skills, and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and
math).
Thanks to our partnership with Ocean Beach School District (OBSD), each day all members receive both a meal
and a snack. OBSD also provides transportation for members both to and from Club each day.
