Boys & Girls Club of Whittier - Ada S. Nelson Elementary

Our mission is to inspire and empower all young people, particularly those who need us the most, to reach their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring citizens. We provide after-school and summer programs for youth ages 6 to 18 that emphasize Academic Success, Character & Citizenship development, and Healthy Lifestyles. Our organization offers a safe and encouraging environment where any child can grow and become a contributing member of the community. VOLUNTEERING & ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES Mentoring Program Elementary-age members at risk of falling behind in school are paired with mentors in our Be Great: Graduate program, tracking their Attendance, Behavior, and Class performance. Mentors commit to meeting for one hour each week to help with homework and engage in fun activities. Mentors provide care and role modeling. We always need volunteers, especially minority males. Club Programming If you have a special talent or interest in sports, science, tutoring, or music, our staff can use your help. Whether it’s a one-time or regular commitment, you can assist in providing enriching activities. Special Events We hold several events throughout the year, including a Gala Auction, Wine Dinner, Golf Tournament, and Youth of the Year awards. Volunteers are needed for setup and various tasks during the events.
