Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clara Valley

What Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clara Valley does

The Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clara Valley is a nonprofit youth development organization founded in 1949 and headquartered at 1400 E. Harvard Blvd., Santa Paula, California, serving children and teenagers ages 6-18 across Ventura County communities. The organization operates four physical club sites — Santa Paula, Fillmore, Many Mansions Fillmore, and Piru — delivering after-school, summer, mentorship, and character development programming. Its core programmatic portfolio includes Art Classes, Cooking Class, Mentor Program (in collaboration with Big Brothers & Big Sisters of Ventura County), Reading Club, Robotics, STEM Programs, Torch Club (leadership), Triple Play (health and wellness), Garden Club, and Smart Moves (prevention education). These programs are delivered in-person at club sites and rely on partnerships with the City of Santa Paula, City of Fillmore, County of Ventura, Many Mansions, Fillmore Unified School District, and a roster of corporate sponsors (Carbon, Limoneira, Athens, Marie Callenders, SP Rotary, and others).

The organization's revenue model combines modest membership fees — $46.40 for Santa Paula annual membership and $41.24 for Piru annual membership, both inclusive of service fees — with optional paid transportation services (vehicle and walking), late payment fees ($1.03 in Piru), and donations/fundraising generated through an annual event calendar including the 22nd Annual Auction & Dinner, Golf Tournament, 3rd Annual Happy Hour, and Light Up The Season. Notably, Fillmore Unified School District covers the 2025-2026 membership fees for all K-6 students enrolled in FUSD, substituting institutional funding for household-level fees at the Fillmore site. The Many Mansions Fillmore Club Site receives partial funding assistance from Many Mansions, and the Piru Club Site is supported by County of Ventura funding. Distribution is exclusively physical through the four club sites; there is no digital product surface, no public API, and no proprietary technology platform.

The organization is led by CEO Pearl Galvan with a small staff including Director of Operations Kyle Cunningham, Director of Resource Development Jan Marholin, branch director Andrea Madrigal at the Fillmore site, and site-level staff across each location. Operationally, the entity functions as an independently governed local chapter of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America network rather than a venture-backed or parent-controlled organization, with no public ticker, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity in the source data. Marketing and community engagement are executed through the bgclubscv.org website, an e2ma newsletter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, a recurring newsroom blog, and the special events calendar.
