Every day young people from all walks of life come to the club to find friendship, get help with homework and participate in a wide variety of fun and enriching activities like cooking classes, computer programming, leadership, STEM, dance, mentoring, music, art and recreation. BGCNV has been at the forefront of serving underserved, economically disadvantaged youth in after-school and teen services throughout Butte and Glenn Counties. To ensure our young people achieve great futures, BGCNV is uniquely positioned to provide a high-quality experience that provides key evidence-informed prevention strategies to address the unprecedented need in our region for child care, trauma responsive care and services to address food insecurity.

The cost of an annual membership is only $100 and young people whose families cannot afford to pay are eligible to apply for a scholarship. The true cost of annual services to youth is approximately $2,000 per member however, through the generosity of our community donors and funders, no child is ever turned away for economic reasons and we do not give up on our kids.
