Overview

Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County runs youth development programs that give local children and teenagers a place to learn, build friendships and prepare for adult life. Its Clubhouses in Seaside and Salinas combine after-school activities with mentorship, while partnerships bring programs into schools across the county. Children get homework support and academic enrichment alongside arts, fitness and leadership activities, with programs also addressing healthy lifestyles and workforce readiness. The nonprofit funds its work through donations, corporate matching gifts and other community support, including in-kind contributions. Founded in 1968, BGCMC is headquartered in Seaside, California.
