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.
Two of the most common injuries in youth baseball and softball are known as “Little League Shoulder” and “Little League Elbow,” says Dr. John Mersch, a CHOC pediatrician.
Proper form is essential to preventing these injuries. This means it’s important to have strong lower body and core muscles — not just a strong upper body. For other tips for how to prevent these injuries include adhering to your league’s rules for pitch counts and rest requirements between pitching appearances. Do not switch from one heavy throwing position to another during the game. Always do a proper warm-up and cool down.
Even when taking extra precautions, injuries can still happen. For urgent medial matters, CHOC pediatricians are available at the PIH Health Urgent Care Center in Whittier. For world-class pediatric care in your own backyard, you can find us at 15733 Whittier Blvd. Whittier, CA 90602, daily from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. @bgca @greatfuturesla #BGCofWhittier

At our Club, it takes caring mentors, such as our trained Club staff. It takes a safe place, like our Clubs that are consistently there for the kids they serve. It takes innovative, quality programs designed to empower youth to excel in school and lead healthy, productive lives. We do whatever it takes to ensure all kids have a great future.
