Inc. Originally incorporated as Southern Area Boys Club, this organization was the first boy's club to serve the south Los Angeles area. The organization provides delinquency prevention and youth development programs and services for boys and girls age seven through eighteen. The Club provides services and programs that promote good health, social, educational, vocational, character and leadership develpment. Most important, we encourage achievement, positive self-esteem, personal responsibility and service to others.
Few people realize the amount of stress our young people live with every day of their lives.
The Club offer kids a safe haven, positive role models, opportunities to learn and succeed, and access to services they may not know exist. We serve the communities of Watts, Willowbrook, the heart of South Central Los Angeles, and Compton. Our total membership of more than 900 youth is predominantly African American and Latino. Most of our youth come from single-parent households and receive some form of public assistance.
