Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma Valley

OUR MISSION is to provide positive opportunities for our community’s youth and teens to learn, succeed, and discover their full potential.

WHO WE ARE

Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma Valley (BGCSV) is a non-profit organization that has been serving our Sonoma community since 1962. While we’re part of the national movement of 4,000 Boys & Girls Clubs across the country, our organization is independently run and relies on donations from our community. We provide our exceptional youth development programs for kids between the ages of 6 to 18 and are currently serving over 2,600 youth annually.

We offer a safe environment for kids to learn and grow. Our outcome-based youth development programs are nationally recognized and have shown proven success in addressing today’s most pressing youth issues while teaching our community’s youth the skills they need to be successful in all areas of life.

We offer tested, proven, and nationally recognized programs in five core program areas:

• The Arts
• Character and Leadership Development
• Education and Career Development
• Health and Life Skills
• Sports, Fitness, and Recreation

All of our programs are designed to meet our three priority outcomes:

Good Character & Leadership – Helping our youth develop leadership skills, and grow into responsible, caring citizens through decision-making, Club and community involvement.

Academic Success – Helping our youth develop academic skills, explore career opportunities, and creating aspirations for their future.

Healthy Lifestyles – Helping our youth achieve and maintain healthy, active lifestyles through fitness, positive leisure time, stress reduction, interpersonal skills and environmental appreciation.

We also provide a quiet, studious environment for kids to complete their homework with the support of trained and caring staff and volunteers. We provide a healthy supper each day of the school year as well as breakfast, lunch, and snack during the summer.
