The Boys and Girls Club is an inspirational alternative for many Bay Area students. The Pacifica branch offers many services that promote self-esteem and character-building, team-building exercises and sports, and recreation with kids from other cultures and areas of the city. Kids ages six through 18 are given opportunities for leadership, are treated fairly, with empathy and understanding and without judgement of past behavior. All budgets are accommodated with the sliding scale fees. Check the website for schedule and event updates.
