Our Clubs
Safe Spaces Where Futures Are Built
At Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County, our Clubhouses are more than just buildings — they are safe havens where young people can learn, grow, and thrive. Every day after school and throughout the summer, our Seaside and Salinas Clubhouses open their doors to youth ages six through high school graduation, providing a positive environment filled with caring mentors, enriching programs, and opportunities for exploration and discovery.
Our Clubs are designed to meet the diverse needs of the communities we serve. We are committed to ensuring that every child, regardless of background or circumstances, has access to the resources and support they need to succeed.
Seaside Clubhouse
Located in the heart of Seaside, our Clubhouse serves as a community anchor for youth and families. Programs include academic enrichment, leadership development, health and wellness activities, and creative arts exploration. The Seaside Clubhouse offers a welcoming, inclusive environment where young people can find belonging, build confidence, and set big goals for their futures.
Harden Youth Development Center,
Salinas Clubhouse
Our Salinas Clubhouse, the Harden Youth Development Center, mirrors the same commitment to excellence and inclusivity, offering a wide range of programs tailored to the needs of Salinas youth. From STEM labs to visual arts programs, from sports leagues to college readiness workshops, the Salinas Clubhouse empowers young people to discover their passions and reach their full potential.
Programs Offered
Each Clubhouse provides structured programming focused on four core priority outcome areas:
Academic Success
Character & Leadership
Health & Well-Being
Life & Workforce Readiness
Caring adult mentors guide youth and our young alumni through experiences that build resilience, foster leadership skills, and encourage healthy decision-making. Joining a Club means joining a community that believes in you, invests in you, and is committed to helping you succeed.
