Help Pasadena Kids Thrive During the Pandemic
Tax deductible
The COVID-19 Pandemic has hit everyone hard. Almost two years after the start of the pandemic, we are seeing the true toll it has had on youth. Ranging from learning loss to increased mental health issues to lack of social stimulation, pandemic recovery has become the urgent, dedicated focus of the Boys & Girls Club of Pasadena.
Here is what we are doing during our after-school programs this school year to meet this once-in-a-generation need for kids in our community:
- Offer every Club member academic support, including tutoring weekly for kids in need. Over 30 tutors have provided thousands of minutes tutoring Club members since the pandemic began.
- Pair every middle school and teen member with a mentor, who checks in with them daily and provides critical emotional and mental health supports.
- Offer a safe, hands-on space for kids to discover, play, and explore, like by climbing our rock wall and making fun and messy art.
You can make a difference and ensure that Pasadena-area youth have access to our life-changing programs. No matter the amount, your donation will make a difference and help kids and youth recover from the pandemic that has affected every part of their lives.
Share this page with your friends, family, co-workers, and network to tap into the power of the collective and make an impact on our youth who need it! There is no time to waste.
Funds will be used for high-impact academic programs, including tutoring, and for emotional and mental health supports for all members.
Thank you!
