Who We Serve
The riskiest hours of the day for the youth of our region are between 3-8 pm. When research has shown children to be most vulnerable to gangs, violence and other risky behaviors.

Not coincidentally, these are the hours that the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Oxnard and Port Hueneme open the doors to serve over 7,000 youth. We take them out of possible risky situations and help them develop into caring, responsible citizens of Ventura County.

In the non school hours and summer, our clubs and special summer-only sites open their doors all day to young people with nowhere else to go.

A trained, caring staff implements proven youth development strategies and creates a stable, supportive environment for children and teens ages six to 18. Specially designed programs concentrate on developing job readiness, study skills, leadership, self-esteem, good health and social responsibility among Boys & Girls Club members.
