"Throughout the Club's years, it has provided a wonderful service for kids and I continue to support it because I like to see its growth each year. The Club is a safe-haven for many. It is enjoyable for them."

"Volunteering at the Alameda Boys & Girls Club has taught me how to be a better and more helpful teacher. I learned how to be an efficient and patient leader. My experience at the Alameda Boys & Girls Club has taught me to be a caring individual with a larger goal and purpose."

"The Alameda Boys & Girls Club taught me a lot about life as a kid like how to act and adapt to things. Everything I learned at the Club I carried over into adulthood and those values help me make better choices in life. Now as a father, I can't wait until my kids get to the age of 6 to begin their journey at the Alameda Boys & Girls Club."

“Outside of mom, the Alameda Boys & Girls Club was it for me. The Club was my second home, the staff my extended family and the kids my best buddies. The Club pushed me, taught me, mentored me and forged me. I gained leadership skills, confidence, friends, mentors and experiences ”
