3, 2, 1....BLAST OFF!

Our New Website Has Launched

We've completely redesigned our website with YOU in mind. Featuring a fresh look, better navigation, and more resources so you can find what you are looking for (and discover new things) quickly and with ease.

Thank you to Rancho San Dieguito Assistance League for donating and setting up a (free) book shop and allowing the children at our Griset Clubhouse to choose two books from their grade level to take home.

Families enjoyed stacks of pancakes and family fun in our beautiful Center For a Healthy Lifestyle Garden in Encinitas while raising funds for our Griset Clubhouse during their annual Pancake Breakfast. Thank you to Captain Keno's, Starbucks on Leucadia Blvd., and McDonald’s of Encinitas for their donations and to all of our staff and volunteers for hosting a successful event!

Our Griset Clubhouse has implemented art lessons taught by our members in an effort to give our youth public speaking experiences.

Members receive instruction from BGC staff before each lesson which empowers them to roll out the curriculum to their peers with confidence and grace.

Going once, going twice...SOLD! This prize auction opens quarterly at Griset where members can bid on prizes with Power Hour points that they've earned through homework completion the past few months. Our Power Hour program is an educational support program designed to help members develop academic, behavioral, and social skills through homework completion, high-yield learning activities, and tutoring that encourages Club members of every age to become self-directed learners.

Thanks to the San Diego Botanic Garden, our members now know chocolate is made from the seeds in the fruit of cacao trees.

Thanks to the volunteers at the San Diego Botanic Gardens, our members are excited to continue their botanical fact-finding journey throughout this school year!

Lead teachers from our Carmel Valley Montessori School will be attending the Annual American Montessori Society’s professional development conference in Nashville this March. Learn more about our Montessori School here.

We LOVE our employees and this past Friday we celebrated with balloons, cupcakes, and hand-written thank you's for EACH staff member on Employee Appreciation Day. CLUB LOVE was felt by everyone throughout all 7 of our locations. We appreciate all our employees for the hard work and passion they exhibit every day. GREAT FUTURES start with GREAT STAFF!

Kudos to more unspoken heroes of our organization, our IT team! This crew keeps us connected, equipped, protected, and working in more ways than we even know. From moving us virtual during the peak of the pandemic to the amount of knowledge and skill it takes to keep our organization running on a day-to-day basis, we appreciate everything our IT Manager, Vianka Mendez, and IT Assistant, Abraham Mares, does every single day.
