The Boys & Girls Club of Whittier is a place that any child can find safety, encouragement, and the strength to grow and become a contributing member of our community.
Crane construction in full swing @eastwhittiermiddleschool Members used their creative minds to create these awesome civil/mechanical engineering projects! Here is some highlights of combining force and pulley systems! #SummerSTEMProgram @ewcsd #agreatplacetolearn #bgcw
Members at Laurel Elementary summer STEAM camp spent the day working on Parallel Processing Machines. Parallel Processing allows computers to sort large amounts of data all at the same time! Students built their own machine that sorted data (marbles & ping pong balls). @laurel_elementary #bgcw #summer #greatfuturesstarthere #laurel @ewcsd
Our summer STEAM camp is in full force. Students at Evergreen elementary school enjoyed a day learning about The Science of Flight and how the forces of flight and wing shapes affect flight patterns.

Friday Fans! Mulberry Elementary’s members are big lego robotics fans! Our members have been super engaged and excited about their Lego projects. Each group is working on different projects with the Legos. The students finish 2-3 steps each day and get excited to continue to finish their projects. They learn skills such as managing, robotics and critical thinking, as well as, responsibility to make sure they do not lose a piece. #BGCW #agreatplacetolearn #MulberryElementarySchool #legogeniuses
Winner Wednesday! We are so proud of our 5th grade member Angel from Laurel Elementary! In his group of 3rd - 5th grade, he is an outstanding role model for his peers and younger members.

We are so proud to have Angel in our program and we cannot wait to hear about his future accomplishments next year in middle school! Keep up the great work ANGEL! #BGCW #agreatplacetolearn #memberofthemonth #LaurelElementarySchool
Tune in Tuesday! Check out staff Josslyn jamming out with our members, while they learn and enjoy music. To culminate learning, staff Josslyn brought in her ukulele and taught students about rhythm. Afterward, members were invited to sing upfront. Did you know? The first musical instrument used by humans was probably the voice. The human voice can make many different kinds of sounds. The larynx (voice box) is like a wind instrument. #BGCW #agreatplacetolearn #LaColimaElementary #musicmatters
Taking it back Tuesday! Dexter Middle School celebrated National Gardening Club Day on April 14, 2021. Members participated in an activity where they decorated their own flower pots. Members were able to choose a flower of their choice to plant and watch grow. #BGCW #agreatplacetolearn #DexterMiddleSchool #gardening

Member Bella and Staff Briana have challenged themselves again. This time completing a 1000 puzzle! Woah that's a lot of pieces! Did you know... Studies show that people who do jigsaw puzzles have longer life spans with less chance of developing memory loss. Doing puzzles can be considered a meditation tool. #bgcw #eastwhittiermiddleschool #agreatplacetolearn
