Welcome to
Boys & Girls Club of Whittier &
Pico Rivera
The Boys & Girls Club of Whittier provides after-school and summer programs for youth ages 6 to 18 years old that emphasize Academic Success; the development of good Character & Citizenship; and the formation of Healthy Lifestyles.
We currently operate our programs at 24 locations: The Main Clubhouse on Greenleaf Avenue in Whittier serves youth from 6-18 from throughout the community, the Club at El Rancho High School in Pico Rivera serves El Rancho students, and we currently serve youth in the Whittier City School District in partnership with Reach for the Stars. We also serve youth in the East Whittier School District, South Whittier School District and Los Nietos School District.
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.
We are excited to welcome our newest league partners PIH Health and CHOC. As leaders in the healthcare industry, they will provide educational information and tips for families to manage their family’s health during the current pandemic and beyond.
PIH Health and CHOC joined forces to bring exceptional pediatric care to Whittier. Board-certified CHOC physicians, alongside PIH Health staff, are now available at the Whittier Urgent Care Center at 15733 Whittier Blvd. CHOC physicians offer a range of specialties from neurology, gastroenterology, cardiology, general pediatric urgent care and board-certified PIH Health pediatricians and family medicine doctors provide primary care services. Families can now stay close to home to access some of the highest quality pediatric care available anywhere.
Remember, CHOC physicians are available in your community! For pediatric urgent care needs, these physicians are available at the PIH Health Whittier Urgent Care Center at 15733 Whittier Blvd, Whittier, CA 90603 every day from 10 AM - 8 PM and primary care is available at 15725 E Whittier Blvd from 8 AM - 5 PM.
