Boys & Girls Clubs of Northwest San Diego (formerly Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito and Boys & Girls Clubs of Oceanside) has been awarded a $50,000 grant from the Zable Foundation. This grant will play a crucial role in supporting the recent merger of the two longstanding youth development organizations. It will also help further their mission to inspire, develop, and enrich young people to reach their fullest potential as confident, responsible, caring members of society.
With a combined legacy of over 130 years of combined service, the newly united Club now serves more than 6,500 members in the communities of Camp Pendleton, Oceanside, Encinitas, Solana Beach, Del Mar, and Carmel Valley. This solidifies its position as the second-largest Boys & Girls Club in San Diego County. Additionally, the Club positively impacts an additional 10,000 youth through specialty programs and community partnerships.
“We are immensely thankful to the Zable Foundation for their incredible support of our enriching youth development programs. With their partnership, we will serve more young people and expand our impact throughout North County San Diego,” said Marineke Vandervort, BGCNWSD CEO.
