The Boys & Girls Club of the West Valley was founded in 1995 as a response to the local need for safe, healthy and productive activities for youth during non-school hours.
Three years ago, the club moved into its current permanent facility in Canoga Park, which was recently renovated.
There are more than 1,500 members of the club, and more than 400 youngsters take part in its programs each day.
In addition to approximately 150 children provided after-school activities at its main site, the club also provides programs for young people at Blythe and Reseda elementary schools, Canoga Park High School and Tierra del Sol.
The Boys & Girls Club of the West Valley is located at 7245 Remmet Ave. in Old Town Canoga Park.
