Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Orange Coast

Did you know that nearly 1 in 5 families struggle to afford new school supplies? Our Back 2 School Campaign aims to provide 1,000 youth with backpacks filled with essential school supplies. And with your support, we can ensure every child has the resources and mentorship they need for a successful school year. Each contribution of $50 covers all costs for one child to have new school supplies. By becoming a monthly donor, you can provide consistent support to Orange County youth: a monthly gift of $10 can make a significant impact throughout the year, ensuring that even more children are prepared for success.

To prepare our young people for upcoming opportunities, we as a community need to work together to help equip them for the ever-evolving workforce. "Futurists believe that 65% of current students will have jobs that do not yet exist." As a futurist and optimist, our CEO Robert Santana, MBA, emphasizes the importance of providing our youth with the necessary skills and resources to ensure they are future-ready.
