Boys & Girls Clubs of South County

What Boys & Girls Clubs of South County does

Boys & Girls Clubs of South County (BGCSC) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit youth-development organization headquartered at 847 Encina Avenue in Imperial Beach, California, serving the South Bay area of San Diego County. It operates a unified portfolio of after-school and summer programs: the Clubhouse Programs at its Imperial Beach Odermatt Club and the Pacific Village Club site in Chula Vista, the ASES grant-funded Extended Learning Program delivered on-site at six South Bay Unified School District (SBUSD) campuses (Berry, Imperial Beach, Central, Nestor, Emory, Mendoza), and Summer Camp 2026. The mission is to provide a safe, structured environment that builds academic, social, vocational, leadership, and character skills for K-12 youth, with particular emphasis on low-income families in the South Bay community. The organization holds Major Metro Club status within the Boys & Girls Clubs of America national network and is recognized among the top 100 largest Clubs nationwide.

The business model blends three revenue streams: individual charitable contributions through the annual 'Be Great Giving Campaign' (one-time and monthly donations processed via Givecloud, with PayPal and major card networks supported), government grant funding through the California After School Education and Safety (ASES) program tied to the SBUSD partnership, and modest program fees ($50 annual membership per child and $150 per week for summer camp). Financial-assistance referrals through Child Development Associates and YMCA Resources extend access for qualifying low-income families, and military vouchers are available for active-military families. Distribution is purely direct and physical — registration is appointment-only at club sites or via SBUSD school channels — supported by an email newsletter (Constant Contact), social media, and the Givecloud donation portal. There is no proprietary technology platform; the organization relies on third-party SaaS for payments, communications, and SSO. The team of approximately 27 employees is led by President & CEO Stephanie James, with a Director of Operations, Program Manager, Branch Managers, Group Leaders, and a Philanthropy & Communications Officer. The organization discloses an average program cost of $517 per child per year.
