#ThankYouThursday goes out to the Dwight Stuart Fund! Their support is allowing us to provide our vital enrichment programs like STEM, Leaders in Training, diplomas2Degrees, and Healthy Habits. They are helping to make a huge impact on the lives of the youth in our great city. Thank you! #BGCLB #LongBeach #Donate

#WhatWeDo - #FBF Edition: Looking back on our summer camp days where Club members spent the day swimming in the ocean and playing with their friends in the sand. Looking forward to summer 2021! #bgclb #WhateverItTakes #GreatFutures #summer #fun #flashbackfriday

#ThankYouThursday goes out to Nancy Gaines and the Evalyn M. Bauer Foundation who continue to do #WhateverItTakes for our Clubs. In 2020, they stepped up and created the wedges that kept our doors open during the pandemic. We are so incredibly grateful! #bgclb #GreatFutures #LongBeachstrong

#WhatWeDo: To help with retention, our Clubs focus on reinforcing what Club members learned in school that day. For example, once they were done with their virtual school, they participate in an educational (and fun) math activity that reinforced what they learned just a few hours earlier. #bgclb #education #learning #WhateverItTakes #GreatFutures

Our doors are open for kids who need us most! And we will continue to do #WhateverItTakes to provide for our Club members and keep them safe. YOU can help us in these efforts by donating today: http://weblink.donorperfect.com/BoysGirlsCl/WhateverItTakes #BoardCampaign #KidsWhoNeedUsMost #donate

Let's Play Ball Season! Join Long Beach Press-Telegram, with Big 5 Sporting Goods and First Bank, to give Club members sporting equipment this holiday season.

Donate directly to the Clubs through Amazon or drop off items at our campaign partner's stores.
