Our youth development programs are designed to build self-esteem and support the growth of our children into responsible and caring adults by using four basic principles. We want our Club members to all have a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging, and power/influence.
This youth development strategy is the foundation of every program and activity offered through the Boys & Girls Clubs of Manteca and Lathrop. We have proven nationally recognized programs that address today's most pressing youth issues, teaching young people the skills they need to succeed in life.
The Club offers programs in five core program areas;
Education & Career Development, Health & Life Skills, Character & Leadership, Sports, Fitness & Recreation, and The Arts.
