10 Reasons To Give to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Conejo Valley
The Boys and Girls Clubs take on some of the most significant obstacles in society, such as bridging the academic achievement gap, tackling critical public health concerns, and combating social isolation by providing opportunities for social connection. When you give to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Conejo Valley (BGCGCV), you are helping to strengthen our youth and our communities. Explore our top 10 reasons to donate and learn more about how your donation helps us continue our mission of empowering our youth with the resources and knowledge to transform their lives so they can feel confident, capable, and ready to become future leaders.

Our goal is to empower our members to take ownership of their own growth and help build and strengthen their critical thinking, communication skills, and overall civic engagement.

You facilitate student access to technology to complete their schoolwork
Many students do not have access to the technology they need to complete projects and homework at home. Without access to these necessary tools, students can experience a decline in academic performance with overall impaired learning. BGCGCV offers internet access, computers, and homework help to equip students to reach their academic goals. Your donation can help bridge the digital gap for students in need.
You directly support transformative experiences for young people
Our goal is to provide transformative experiences that empower young people to grow into capable and confident adults. Donations like yours allow our team to sustain and grow membership and programming for our members, such as leadership opportunities, instructional programs that promote physical well-being, and activities that help youth explore their new interests and reach their full potential.
You ensure our facilities are maintained in convenient and safe locations on school campuses
Child safety is our main priority, and we continually update our safety policies, programs, and trainings for our staff and volunteers. We conduct mandatory background checks, annual safety assessments, and it is mandated that our staff and volunteers report any critical incidents or safety concerns to our local authorities immediately. Our facilities have a control desk with initial visitor check-in to prevent unauthorized access, which ensures our members can confidently learn, grow, and thrive in a safe environment.

All young people deserve equal access and opportunities to explore their interests, creativity, and skillsets without any financial barriers. With donor-supported scholarship assistance available, we can provide cost-effective membership to all students who need it. No child is ever turned away due to their inability to pay because we believe that every child has the right to access transformative experiences that help them grow and succeed.

You positively impact our communities
Our Clubs offer a safe, supervised space for young people to gather in a positive environment where they can grow and thrive when their parents or guardians are working or unable to make it home right after school. When young people feel supported and a part of our community, it creates a safer and more positive experience for our entire community. Communities who support their youth experience economic development, improved quality of life, and a stronger, more engaged community.
You fund scholarships and growth opportunities for our young people
Academic success is very important to us! The prevalence of remote learning and school closures during the pandemic have led to learning loss in youth worldwide. We created LEAP (Learning Enhancement Acceleration Program) to help young people and their families recover from these obstacles and learning loss. With additional donor support, we can increase the impact of our programming, award more scholarships, and provide opportunities for youths to thrive and reach their full potential.
