Did you know 82% of Boys & Girls Club sixth graders made honor roll in 2025?

We are intentionally building a future where every coastside youth experiences Connection, Community, and Confidence.

Kids are our community’s most valuable resource, and it is our collective responsibility to ensure they have everything they need to thrive. In 2026, Boys & Girls Club of the Coastside is focused on three powerful outcomes for over 1,200 Coastside youth:

Every kid deserves someone who believes in them.

We help kids build lasting friendships, connect with caring adult mentors, and find a safe space where they are known, supported, and encouraged.

Through after-school programs, tutoring, camps, and sports, we create daily opportunities for youth to feel seen and valued.

We are proud to be the leading youth development organization on the Coastside.

Through strong parterships with schools, families, other organizations, and the City of Half Moon Bay, we support academic success, skill-building, wellness, and BGCC~Cunha Athletics.

Our programs serve 1000+ kids a year, regardless of their ability to pay.

Together, we are building a stronger Coastside community, one kid at a time.

Confidence changes everything.

Through academic support, robotics and STEM, job readiness programs, scholarships, mental health resources, and an onsite youth wellness counselor, we help youth develop resilience, leadership skills, and belief in their future.

We celebrate milestones, from improved grades to diplomas, awards, and first-time outdoor experiences.

When kids believe in themselves, they step into their full potential.
