Boys and Girls Club: Our hearts go out to all communities affected by the Greater Los Angeles fires. With schools closed and families displaced, we're opening our doors to ALL youth ages 6 - 18. Registration fees have been waived during this time so that all kids in need have a safe place to go.
Project Camp: We know that the days immediately following an evacuation or a disaster are highly uncertain, stressful, and anxious days. We help parents find normalcy for their families by providing fun, immersive, and safe day camps for their kids. While kids have a blast at camp, parents have the time and space to get back on their feet.
