Causes: Boys & Girls Clubs, Children & Youth
Mission: The mission of the boys & girls clubs of metro los angeles is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens.
Programs: Boys & girls clubs of metro los angeles (bgcmla) is a california not-for-profit corporation chartered by the boys & girls clubs of america, inc. Bgcmla was created in 2015 to consolidate existing boys & girls clubs and to expand services through the creation of new clubs and through partnerships with city and county government. The collective of clubs includes: bell gardens boys & girls club, challengers boys & girls club (challengers), jordan downs boys & girls club, boys & girls club of nickerson gardens, and watts/willowbrook boys & girls club (watts/willowbrook). Bgcmla's mission is focused on promoting the health, life skills, and educational, vocational, and character development of los angeles youth ages 6-18. Each of the program sites (clubs) facilitates programs designed to meet the physical, emotional, cultural, and social needs of the participants. Because these core areas are integrated, it is not practical to separate expenses into program categories. Bgcmla's principal funding sources are contributions, grants, government contracts and rentals.
