Many children have no adult supervision after school. Studies have shown that the hours between 3 and 8 p.m. are the hours that most kids are likely to get involved with crimes, be victims of crime or engage in other risky behavior. The Clubs provide an alternative to the dangers of the streets. Moreover, the Clubs provide stimulating activities that help build character, self-esteem, values and skills. Boys and Girls Clubs of the East Valley offers that and more! Our Clubs instill a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence. The North Tempe Branch offers an after school program, teen leadership, youth sports leagues, homework and tutoring assistance. We are located in the North Tempe/South Scottsdale area, just north of ASU where there are high numbers of youth and teens living in the community. Opened in 2006 we now primarily serve youth from Laird Elementary School, McClintock High School, Tempe High School, and Integrity Charter School. Laird Elementary also has the largest ESL population in the Tempe School District, with over 40% having English as their second language.
