Boys and Girls Club of the Redwoods: McKinleyville Teen Center

Organization Description

The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Redwoods is a youth development program for children ages 6 to 18. All of our sites offer a safe place for our members to learn, play and develop citizenship and leadership skills. We have over 1500 members and we typically serve over 155 members daily.

Our after school programs are a big asset to working parents. They offer kids a safe place to go after school, help with homework, a warm meal and fun activities to participate in.

With the help of our sponsors, the cost to our members is only $30 for the school year. We also offer summer, Teen Court and Substance Abuse Intervention programs.
