Cooking Up New Skills & Love

For Fruits & Veggies

Our Centers For a Healthy Lifestyle have been busy integrating programming into our After School Programs within our various Clubhouses while getting our youth to try new fruits and veggies! Members have been harvesting our Fall garden bounty and making fig jam, passion fruit cookies, zucchini muffins, and homemade tortillas, pizzas, and sourdough English muffins. 

Del Mar Clubhouse members recently hosted a bake sale to raise money

to revitalize our Del Mar Garden. The children loved baking and preparing

marketing materials for the bake sale!

The program included organizational updates from our CEO Marineke Vandervort and a review of child safety policies. Guest speaker and BGC Board Member Shalon Nienow, MD provided an eye-opening presentation focused on child abuse and mandated reporting. It's always a pleasure to have all our staff together under one roof to bond and further our professional development!

Community Support

Thank You, Lucy

Lucy Longhurst, a local youth athlete, organized and held her own basketball clinics for younger basketball players, charging participants a small fee to participate with the goal of donating the profits to Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito.


"When I thought about what charity to donate to, I realized that Boys & Girls Clubs would be perfect!"


Lucy raised and donated $2500 to the club/athletics department. "This taught me so much–leading others, delegating, talking to adults. It was such a big success, I hope to do it again!"

HP Takes Us Out to the Ballgame!

Big thanks to HP for donating their Padres ticket, which allowed many of our members, families & staff to

witness some wild baseball!

Thank You, Panda Express

for supporting our La Colonia Clubhouse’s Power Hour:

our daily time for homework help, tutoring, and

high-yield learning activities. Panda Express’ support

helps foster academic success in our members, ensuring

that GREAT FUTURES START HERE.
