The Boys & Girls Club of Burbank and Greater East Valley states that its mission is to inspire and enable all young people to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens. The organization offers an award winning Creative Arts program that includes dance, drama, singing, and art in several mediums, and it has a state-of-the-art performing arts space at the Main Club. Specific programs for teens are free and continue to be free. No child is ever turned away for an inability to pay, and financial aid is available for qualifying families. The Club serves all youth, especially those who need the Club the most, during out of school hours, and it works to close the education and health gaps seen in minority and low income families. The Club states a commitment to providing safe, positive, and inclusive environments for all youth and teens of every race, ethnicity, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, ability, socio-economic status, and religion.
In 1995, an old firehouse on Buena Vista Street was converted into a Boys & Girls Club, and in 2002 the principal at Roosevelt Elementary School approached the Club to pilot an after school program on the Roosevelt site. In the fall of 2004, the Deaf and Hard of Hearing program was added, and in 2006 the arts program was turned into an award winning Creative Arts program. In 2007, the Club and Burbank Unified School District forged a partnership for After School Education and Safety Program (ASES) sites, and by 2008 specific programs for teens were put together. In 2010, the Club expanded its reach into middle school, and by 2012 its geographical growth included Burbank, Glendale, Verdugo Hills and Sun Valley. Our Lady of the Holy Rosary opened in 2013, and St. Patrick Catholic School and Verdugo Hills High School opened in 2014. As of late summer 2017, another location was added to the summer enrichment program, increasing the number of locations to 5, and the Van Ness ASES site in the Hollywood area was brought in, reaching 20 sites. In 2018, the Club partnered with BHC, raising the number of club sites to 22. In 2020, during Covid-19, the Club never closed its doors and worked in tandem with the school district and members to master virtual learning and social-distancing while helping families with child care needs. In 2021, the organization moved into its new Main Club House in downtown Burbank, and in 2022 renovations of the Warner Bros. Performing Arts Center and the gymnasium were completed. In 2025, the Club celebrated its 30th anniversary.
The Club reports a network of 34 locations serving more than 6,100 youth each day and serves youth and families throughout the Greater San Fernando Valley and parts of Los Angeles. It has strong partnerships with the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, Los Angeles Unified School District, and Burbank Unified School District, including ASES programming at school sites. Renovations to the gymnasium were completed with support from the Lakers Youth Foundation. The director of the first after school site at Roosevelt Elementary School was Shanna Warren, who is now the CEO.
Parent testimonials describe individual experiences with the Club. One parent, Brandon’s mom Veronica, states that she knows her child is in a safe environment at the Club, that he has become more social, and that she appreciates that he gets homework help. Another parent, Andrew’s dad Juan, states that the Club takes good care of his son while he is working, that his son has made many new friends, and that his son loves to be at the Club. A third parent, Mylee’s mom Cynthia, states that the Club has given her daughter a chance to explore many different interests, participate in many activities, meet many different kinds of people, and that her daughter’s social skills and self-esteem have grown.
