​ALL BGCV SITES ARE CLOSED.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19 BGCV has made the difficult decision to close until further notice. We are devastated we will not be able to provide services to the most vulnerable families in our community, we are looking for ways to ensure that our Club members are taken care of during this time of crisis. Please take a moment and learn how you can help below.

1. Make a one-time significant donation to ensure that our Club is able to keep our incredible Youth Development Professionals on our payroll and ensure that when we do reopen our doors, our Club members are met with familiar faces as they ease back into their everyday life. 
2.  Mail a gift card from a local grocery store for the Club to gift to families in need.
3. Join our monthly giving program to help sustain our organization and the young people we serve.
4. Call your senators! Let them know you don't want any afterschool or summer program funding cut by the federal government and ensure that the vulnerable families in our communities are being taken care of.

THANK YOU!
Thank you for joining us for the 14th Annual Champion of Youth Gala at the Jonathan Beach Club, where we celebrated board member David Greenbaum and the work he has done to ensure our Club’s success. It was a wonderful night of engaging performances by the Club’s youth, a heartwarming speech by Guillermo Del Toro, powerful stories shared by notable alumnus Courtney B. Vance, a fun celebration overlooking the ocean at sunset, and raising nearly $650,000 to support the mission of our Clubs. Your presence and support played a vital role in the success of the Gala! Further, your generosity greatly benefits the thousands of at-risk youth the Clubs serve throughout Los Angeles.

Be sure to take a look at the photos of you and your guests shot by Venice Paparazzi and relive the magical evening.
