Project Report | Jan 29, 2025
You're giving kids a place that feels like home

By Laura Portier-LaLumiere | Chief Advancement Officer

Each day, more than 1,600 youth come through the doors of our 12 Clubs in Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley. Thanks to you, the families of each of those kids pay only what they can afford to attend the Club, even if that's nothing it all. Nearly 1,000 children attend the Club completely free of charge and hundreds more receive sliding scale scholarships. 

Your support makes a world of difference to the kids at the Club. One of our teen members who is now a senior in high school has been part of the Club family for years. This winter, he was able to join our team as an intern at our ClubHouse Academy performing arts program. He recently shared with us what being part of the Club has meant to him over the years, and I'd like to pass that on to you, because people like you are the reason we are able to give kids the kind of programs that truly change their lives for the better. 

"I came to realize that ClubHouse is my home. I have found my sense of worth, my sense of belonging that I had desired my whole life. At the Club, the fear of being myself was dispelled. I had finally been freed to express who I am. I see no world in which ClubHouse doesn’t remain in my heart - once a ClubHouse kid, always a ClubHouse kid. I have made lifelong friends here, and memories to last a lifetime. I hope one day, when I am older and have a few kids of my own, they can become ClubHouse kids, too."

Thank you for giving kids like him a place that feels like home, a place that helps them reach their potential, and a  place to build their confidence. Your gift makes a difference!
