Mission Statement
The mission of the Boys & Girls Club of Moorpark is to inspire and enable all young people to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens. The Club helps them achieve academic success, good character & citizenship and healthy lifestyles. As a result, the Club is a vital resource for providing the kids in our community, particularly those who may not have the same opportunities as others, with quality after school and summer programs that have a powerful impact on their lives.
About This Cause
The Boys & Girls Club of Moorpark has been at the forefront of youth development since 1985, working with young people from all social, economic and family circumstances. Located in a redevelopment area, the Club has sought to enrich the lives of youth throughout the community, with a special concern for those children that need us most. We are dedicated to ensuring these young people will have greater access to quality programs and services that will enhance their lives and shape the futures. We aim to make sure young people have what they need and want the most – adults who respect and listen to them, a safe environment where they can learn, have fun and be themselves, and enriching activities that channel their energy in a positive way. Based on the physical, emotional, cultural, and social needs and interests of girls and boys, the Boys & Girls Club provides guidance-oriented program activities in five core areas: Character & Leadership Development; Education & Career Development; Health & Life Skills; The Arts; and Sports, Fitness & Recreation. These core areas help kids to build self confidence and esteem and give them a sense of belonging, competence, usefulness and influence. And we know that our programs are working because we see positive results in the kids we serve, not only in their personal and academic lives, but also in how they view the rest of the world, and how they will make a positive contribution as they become young adults. Additionally, an independent study of Boys & Girls Clubs right here in Ventura County reported that: Nearly all parents (97%) agree that their children are in a safe environment when attending the Club. 89% of parents agree that their children have become more confident in themselves since coming to the Club. 78% of parents say that their child’s performance in school has improved since attending the Club. 76% of parents agree that their children have shown more interest in regular physical exercise since joining the Club. For every $1 invested in the Boys & Girls Club, $15.45 is reinvested in the community. That is over a 1500% return for every dollar invested!
