There are very few things better than giving a child the opportunity for a brighter future. At the Boys & Girls Clubs of South San Luis Obispo County, we are able to make that possible for countless local youth because of the generosity of our Board of Directors, Community Partners, donors, staff, and volunteers.
As the year comes to an end, we look forward to continuing serving South San Luis Obispo County youths and their families in 2022. In order to do so, we need your help! Would you be willing to skip your morning latte and donate the $5? Would you be willing to share our newsletters with your friends and family? Would you be interested in volunteering? We couldn't do this without YOU!

Noah knows how important it is to have a place to feel comfortable, especially as a young person, so he strives to make things fun, comfortable, and safe for our youth. His commitment to our local youth is evident in his hard work to make our teen programs the best they can be. Congratulations, Noah!

We did some awesome activities this during the month of November covering a wide variety of different topics. We experimented with vinegar and baking soda to blow up a balloon. The SLO Foodbank, were very generous by hosting a youth farmers' market with fresh produce our youth were able to to bring home to their families. The youth also got a chance to learn about the produce they received that day. One new exciting after school enrichment class that started is ZULU!

Even with the time change, the youth have requested outdoor activities. Some of these include: dodgeball, soccer, Triple Play, and tennis. These were chosen to help our youth develop skills, such as; good sportsmanship, teamwork, patience, sharing, empathy, and concentration. Other youth favorites have been arts and crafts activities like drawing themselves as a super hero and creating their own piñatas. During the month of December, we will continue to pick activities that enrich our youth, teach them 21st century skills, as well as fun and engaging activities. The youth look forward to the winter crafts and the fun guest speakers like Zumba! The youth look forward to the upcoming Winter Break.

The year may be coming to an end, but the Club at Judkins isn't slowing down! Between the Veteran's Day Holiday and Thanksgiving break, November has absolutely flown by for the Teens at Judkins. But we're still having plenty of fun every day we're here - playing music, learning new games, and getting work done with friends. The Club at Judkins is here to meet the needs of all Judkins students, so whether it's a place to get some help getting homework done, or just a place to kick it with friends after school, we're here for you! We're heading into the last few weeks before winter break with a lot of excitement and energy - there's never been a better time to check out the Club at Judkins!

The youth and staff at Shell Beach would like to wish everyone a Happy Holiday season and a Happy New year for 2022! We are excited to be ending this year with some fun activities such as Art, PowerHour games, and outdoor activities. During the month of December we will be working on a service project to give back to
our community. The youth will also be making greeting cards for those in need. Some of our youth have been working on projects that show what they are thankful for at the BGC. Some of the things they were thankful this past year were going back to school, friends, doing fun activities, working on homework,
playing outside, and having each other to laugh and have fun moments to share and play.
