Frequently Asked Questions

We are not a typical after-school program that simply looks after kids until parents come to pick them up! BGCF exists to help our members grow and learn to become productive, caring, responsible members of our community. We offer programs and services based around academics, social recreation, healthy living and leadership.

We have six locations in Monrovia — five school-based sites and a Teen Center located in Recreation Park. Our administrative office is located at 600 S. Shamrock Avenue in Monrovia.

During the school year, all sites are open from the end of school until 6:00 pm. During the summer, furlough days and school breaks, our Shamrock and Teen Center sites are open all day.

Monthly program fees vary. See our enrollment page for more details.

Yes! Boys & Girls Club of the Foothills strives to make our services affordable for every family. If you need financial assistance, please contact our membership coordinator for details. No family is turned away for inability to pay.

Safety is our primary concern at BGCF and we strive to keep our kids safe in every way. Members scan in and out electronically when they arrive and when they leave. The ratio of children to staff at each of our Club sites is 20:1 for grades 1-12 and 10:1 for grades TK and Kinder.
