Boys & Girls Club of the Coastside – Great Futures Start Here
Our mission is to enable all Coastside youth, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring responsible citizens.
History of The Boys & Girls Club of the Coastside
The Boys & Girls Club of the Coastside started in 1994. In the 2022-23 school year, the Club expects to have over 1000 registered members; and serve over 5,000 in the community through facilities and activities. During the Covid-19 pandemic, BGCC was recognized for our leadership in providing remote learning pods, WIFI, tutoring and access to internet during the remote learning. We are proud to have stepped up to offer sports to middle school students when CUSD eliminated funding for middle school sports.
