Everything BGCW does — every program, every meal, every mentor — is made possible by people in this community who decided to get involved. You don't need to write a big check to make a difference. You just need to start.
Here are four ways to be part of what we're building.
Your dollars go directly to the kids.
BGCW keeps program costs intentionally low because we believe every family in Whittier and Pico Rivera should be able to access what we offer — regardless of income. That's only possible because of donors like you.
A gift of any size helps keep our programs running, our staff trained, and our doors open. And for those ready to make a deeper commitment, our Circles of Giving make it easy to give consistently:
Circle of Leaders
$1,000/year or $84/month
Circle of Influence
$500/year or $42/month
Circle of Friends
$250/year or $21/month
We also accept vehicle donations through our CARS program — cars, motorcycles, and more. You receive a tax receipt, and the proceeds support our programs.
Your time is one of the most valuable things you can give.
From tutoring and mentoring to event support and skills-based volunteering, there are dozens of ways to contribute your time to BGCW. Our volunteers are an essential part of how we deliver our programs — and many of our most impactful relationships with kids began with a volunteer who showed up consistently.
For businesses and organizations that want to invest in the community.
BGCW works with corporate and community partners who share our commitment to young people in Whittier and Pico Rivera. Partnerships can take many forms — event sponsorship, in-kind support, employee volunteerism, or multi-year program funding.
If your organization is looking for a meaningful community partnership, we'd love to talk.

If BGCW was part of your story, you're still part of ours.
Were you a Club member? Did BGCW play a role in where you are today?
We're actively looking to reconnect with our alumni — to hear your stories, celebrate what you've done, and invite you back into the community that helped shape you.
Parents: there's a place for you here too.
Our Parent Association brings together families of current Club members to stay connected, share feedback, and support the BGCW community. If you'd like to get involved beyond enrollment, reach out and we'll tell you more
