What does it say about a community when it invests in its most vulnerable children?

For nearly 30 years, our answer has been clear: it says we believe in their potential. That every child – regardless of background, income, or struggle – deserves the chance to learn, grow, and thrive.

At Boys & Girls Clubs of the North Valley, we’ve proudly stood as a symbol of that belief. A second home. A safe space. A launchpad for resilience, leadership, and hope.

Your investment has made this possible:

  • Resilient Youth: Mentorship, academic support, and leadership development.
  • Stronger Communities: Programs that expand opportunity and strengthen families.
  • Powerful Returns: Every $1 you give generates $10 in community benefit.

In this 2024 Annual Report, you’ll see your impact in action – from a child gaining confidence through reading to a teen becoming the first in their family to graduate with a plan for the future. These stories are backed by our data: over 113,000 meals and snacks served, 7,445 academic and STEM sessions delivered, 352 youth paired with mentors, and 100 families supported through case management.

Yet the need continues to outpace local support. In Butte and Glenn Counties, fewer than 1% of residents give to our Clubs — making your generosity not just rare, but essential to sustaining mentorship, meals, academic support, and stability for local youth.

This year, we face over $500,000 in funding cuts — including a $107,762 shortfall threatening our food programs. These aren’t just numbers. They represent real kids, real services, and real futures at risk. Every day, we face tough decisions: What can we keep? What might we lose? How do we stretch limited dollars without turning families away?

Without increased support, we face the loss of high-impact services that deliver measurable outcomes:

  • Mentorship that keeps vulnerable youth connected, engaged, and on track
  • Extended hours that allow working parents to stay employed and children safe
  • Mental health and housing support that stabilize families and prevent crises
  • Nutritious meals that fuel learning and reduce food insecurity

Your continued support is what makes this work possible. It ensures we can keep showing up – delivering high-impact programs, creating safe spaces, and building brighter futures for the youth and families who rely on us. If you’d like to see the return on your investment firsthand, we’d love to give you a behind-the-scenes tour.

With gratitude and hope,
