Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County

"Our Mission is to inspire and empower the youth of Monterey County to realize their full potential to become responsible, healthy, productive and successful citizens."​ Boys & Girls Clubs strive to instill… a sense of competence... the feeling there are things boys and girls can do, and do well. a sense of usefulness... the opportunity to do something of value for other people. a sense of belonging... a setting where an individual knows he or she has a place where he or she "fits", and is accepted. a sense of power or influence...a chance to be heard and to influence decisions. When our strategy is fully implemented, the self-esteem of girls and boys is enhanced and an environment is created which helps them achieve their full potential.

The Transition Program provides 24-hour supervision and a great deal of structure preparing residents to move into their own homes and apartments in the community. When residents are ready, they progress to the Community Living Program, where one-on-one case management services as well as full access to group activities, classes and services are provided. We offer hope and life lessons to young adults with learning disabilities. Whether they struggle with a severe learning disability or ADHD, high functioning autism, Asperger's or a mild developmental disability, each and every resident has their own set of unique challenges.
