Boys and Girls Clubs of San Diego

I moved to San Diego last year with my family of 4. After being here for 6 months my wife decided to start working full time, and we needed to find a sitter for our 2 daughters during spring vacation. We looked into a lot of programs and came across the boys and girls club. This was such a great experience for my kids, not to be cooped up in a house all day. The staff was great and my daughters had a great time. My girls are definitely looking forward to the summer session !

Fantastic charity. It does a lot for kids that need the after school programs. This is my number one 503c that I donate to. I cannot say enough great things about the immensely talented staff that run the clubs. Thanks!

My son loves it here. It’s conveniently located and always sells out for the summer. The staff is young but friendly.

October 2014: Came here to play Dodge Ball. It was set up through a MeetUp by Bill who is in charge of the group. I was feeling sporty and saw the Dodge Ball on MeetUp.
Havent played dodge ball since the 6^th grade… maybe middle school. My sister and i were pretty good at this game in elementary.
Any way… about 50+ (21 — 50 yr olds) of us show up, we played in 6 teams of 10 – 12 ppl. None of us knew each other… maybe a few of us.
Bill goes over the rules and directions. Then BAM! we kick ass on playing dodge ball.
It was sooooo much! I would love to play again when i get back on MeetUp. Right now i play kickball via Vavi — just as fun!
First time at Boys & Girls club place and it has all types of activities, drawings, etc. for the kids.

My kids, Mattie and Melanie have both been attending this Club for 5 years and as hard as it was to leave them with anyone, the Boys and Girls Club staff have been so great in making my children feel safe and content. Ruth and the staff have been like family and without them I would be lost. Thank you B & G for your caring and supportive environment. I would recommend them to any working mom.

Great environment for kids! The staff is awesome. My daughter loves being there everyday after school. There are many activities for kids; swimming, tap, tumbling, cooking, sports, etc… I am so happy I picked this place for my daughter. So grateful for all they do.

Ruth and her wonderful staff have made such a huge difference in my kids life! Both of my kids came in with problems and have really blossomed under their guidance. With all their incentives and clubs and support, it’s easy to see why they are who they are. The have been going for 5 years. They have the opportunity to attend free afterschool programs, but I would rather pay for my kids to have the love and care and opportunities they have been given through the BGC. Thank you to everyone who has touched my children’s lives.

Very affordable and the kids seems to love it. They have a pool and field trips in the summer. After school program is good. They pick your kids up from school and you get them at the club after work. My daughter loves it. Ruth is great and truly loves those kids.

I went to the boys and girls club as a kid. I was lucky enough to work there as a summer leader. I love the relationship the kids have with eachother as well as with the staff. i definitely had my favorites but none the less each kid is amazing and well taught all because of Ms. Ruth Cassidy. she is amazing. gives and gives and gives. shes the best boss, mentor, and mother. I recommend your kids going here to hang out like i did when i was 8,9,10 as well as the summer camps and after school. staff makes sure kids do their homework as well as have fun. the boys and girls club will always be special to me and i promise you will not regret the experience you have as well as your kids. i know i dont. i absolutely loved it.
