The mission of Boys & Girls Clubs of Northwest San Diego is to inspire, develop, and enrich young people to reach their fullest potential as confident, responsible, caring members of society.

Our Story
Our story began over half a century ago when two dedicated organizations—Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito and Boys & Girls Clubs of Oceanside—began to support youth and families in their local communities. For decades, each Club provided safe spaces, essential programming, and mentorship, evolving alongside the communities they served. From the establishment of our original facilities in the 1950s and ‘60s to the construction of new centers, Clubhouses, and recreation areas, we’ve been deeply rooted in enriching young lives.
In 2024, Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito and Boys & Girls Clubs of Oceanside joined forces as Boys & Girls Clubs of Northwest San Diego. United, our mission remains steadfast: to inspire, develop, and enrich young people to reach their fullest potential as confident, responsible, and caring members of society. With eight clubhouses and specialized programs, we now offer expanded services, from after-school support to teen leadership initiatives, with a shared commitment to character-building, academic achievement, and personal growth.

Now, our Club is the second largest Boys & Girls Club organization in San Diego County. Our Club is defined as a Major Metro Organization by Boys & Girls Clubs of America due to the size of our annual budget and the number of children we serve. We provide a financial aid program that covers up to 100% of costs, ensuring all children can participate in our programs.

Today, our organization serves:
• 6,000+ registered members in our After School Program
• 14,300+ total number of youth served through our programs (8 Clubhouses and 8 specialty programs) and community activities held at our sites
• $333,000+ in financial assistance awarded each year
