SINCE 1952, WE HAVE BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF YOUTH DEVELOPMENT. OUR MANDATE IS TO REACH THOSE WHO NEED US MOST AND NEVER TURN AWAY A CHILD FOR FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES. WE PROMOTE THE HEALTHY SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL, AND INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT OF YOUNG PEOPLE WITH DIVERSE SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND CULTURAL BACKGROUNDS. EACH DAY, WE SERVE OVER 4,000 YOUTH FROM LAGUNA BEACH, ALISO VIEJO, LAKE FOREST, & MISSION VIEJO BOTH DURING AND AFTER SCHOOL. WE USE TRAUMA-INFORMED PRACTICES TO MEET EACH CHILD WHERE THEY UNIQUELY ARE AND HELP THEM GAIN THE SKILLS, ATTITUDES, AND SUPPORT SYSTEMS THEY NEED TO THRIVE IN LIFE. WE ADVOCATE FOR THE IMPORTANCE OF PLAY IN YOUNG PEOPLE'S LIVES AND HOW THEY LEARN AND GROW FROM IT. THE IMPACT WE HAVE ON OUR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IS CENTERED ON BUILDING HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, AMONGST OUR CLUB MEMBERS, TEAM MEMBERS, VOLUNTEERS, DONORS, AND PARTNER AGENCIES.
