“The Boys and Girls Club of the West Valley transforms lives, inspires young minds, builds leadership skills, and has become an integral part of our community. They don’t just provide needed structure and education for kids, they develop future community members and help shape students into bright, well-rounded adults.”

“The Boys & Girls Club of the West Valley inspires our youth to dream big and gives them the tools to realize those dreams. The Club is truly shaping the future. “

“I’ve seen first hand the Boys & Girls Club of the West Valley’s quiet power not only to change, but to save lives.  It represents the best in us, a generous, diverse and unified Valley offering our next generation the chance to rise.”

“The Boys & Girls Club is a non-profit powerhouse; leading the way to shape productive and caring citizens that will create a formidable 21st century workforce for the San Fernando Valley region.”

“In working with the Boys & Girls Club of the West Valley since its inception, what has always impressed me the most is the incredible dedication of those adults giving their help and hearts for the children. From Marty Cooper, who was a graduate himself of the program, to actor Denzel Washington, another Boys & Girls Club alumnus, they have given their time to build a program to help the youth of our community succeed – and in turn – give back. “

“For decades, the Boys & Girls Club has been a positive force throughout the San Fernando Valley, supporting and mentoring youths from all backgrounds, many who rely on these resources. Through its programs, the Club helps kids build character, advance their education, and achieve their goals, efforts which I wholeheartedly believe in. “
