OUR CALENDAR OF 2014 EVENTSJoin Us and Support the Kids!

Our suburban model locates Clubs on elementary and middle schoolcampuses on long-term leases and joint-use agreements with the ConejoValley Unified School District and the Las Virgenes Unified School District at$1.00 per year. This arrangement gives the schools the opportunity to usemany of the Clubs’ rooms and facilities for educational purposes during theschool day. In addition, schools permit the Clubs to use their gyms andfields for programs before and after school, plus on the weekends.

The generous grant of $1,000,000 from the City of Thousand Oaks for theconstruction of four Clubs on Conejo Valley middle school campuses hashelped us build three facilities to date. This represents $250,000 per site,with one remaining Club to be built at Redwood Middle School.

These partnerships provide a win-win solution…with the kids definitelycoming out huge winners!

Our suburban model locates Clubs on elementary and middle schoolcampuses on long-term leases and joint-use agreements with the ConejoValley Unified School District and the Las Virgenes Unified School District at$1.00 per year. This arrangement gives the schools the opportunity to usemany of the Clubs’ rooms and facilities for educational purposes during theschool day. In addition, schools permit the Clubs to use their gyms andfields for programs before and after school, plus on the weekends.

The generous grant of $1,000,000 from the City of Thousand Oaks for theconstruction of four Clubs on Conejo Valley middle school campuses hashelped us build three facilities to date. This represents $250,000 per site,with one remaining Club to be built at Redwood Middle School.

These partnerships provide a win-win solution…with the kids definitelycoming out huge winners!
