Need childcare? Need FOOD or other essential services?
During COVID-19, Los Angeles Boys & Girls Club provides weekly food distribution to anyone in need.

Changing Lives for Over 75 Years
For over 75 years, the Los Angeles Boys & Girls Club has accomplished its goals of inspiring and transforming lives by providing a safe place for kids during the hours when young people are most vulnerable to negative influences.
At the Club, young people can be themselves, be proud, and experience opportunities never thought possible.
Through programs that expand horizons, the Club challenges youth to experience the world outside their doorsteps and gives young people the tools to succeed. Come explore our Club!
We’re hiring!
We are looking to grow our team with people who are enthusiastic about providing youth with high quality out of school time experiences to support academic success, wellness and good character & leadership skills.
EQUITY AND INCLUSION
Los Angeles Boys & Girls Club has an important role to play in the national call for action on racial injustice and equity. We recognize the impact of systemic racism on the lives of youth, and we believe young people should feel safe, be supported in accessing opportunities, and feel valued not just at the Club, but everywhere in our society. Our mission compels us to support youth in reaching their full potential, which includes identifying and helping to eliminate barriers that prevent the full participation and advancement of underserved, low income, youth of color in Los Angeles.
