Civic and Community

Since 2000, Southwest Riverside County's population has more than doubled to over 360,000. Because this rapid growth has outpaced available youth resources, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southwest County is constructing a 15,000 square foot clubhouse to provide safe, neighborhood-based youth development programs for children and teens from low income families in the French Valley area. The facility will include a teen center, educational center, arts and crafts room, library, recreational and games room, computer lab, and multipurpose room, as well as office space and a conference room. The eight acre site also contains sports fields, a swimming pool facility and playgrounds.
