Boys & Girls Clubs of East County

Community Partner shout out! The Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation are proud partners of the Boys & Girls Clubs of East County! They are a modern government providing public services to their members, employees and neighbors. The Sycuan Tribal Government operates one of the region's premier Indian gaming and resort facilities, the Sycuan Casino and Resort. The Sycuan Tribe demonstrates its strong commitment to the San Diego region through the support of hundreds of civic and charitable organizations. The Tribe, through the Sycuan Tribal Development Corporation (STDC), also seeks to reinvest back into the San Diego community with a progressive business development effort. Combined, these enterprises now employ nearly 4,000 San Diegans. A big ‘thank you’ to our long-time friends, the Sycuan Tribal Government!
