Super Summer Programs are in full swing here at Boys & Girls Clubs of Oakland!

Clubs are alive with our youth completing STEM focused programming, nailing the Summer Reading Challenge, going on field trips, and forming new friendships on the basketball court!

Thanks to you, BGCO is able to provide exciting programs to our youth this summer.

Robotics & Coding

This summer, BGCO offers free robotics and coding classes for our Oakland youth to find their passion in STEM fields. These activities expose our kids to technology, computer skills, and the ability to explore careers in robotics.

Learn to Play an Instrument!

Our members are exposed to musical instruments and getting hands-on experience playing drums! Music education provides youth with creative outlets and builds confidence through artistic expression.

Arts & Crafts

Kids are finding their inner Picasso by engaging in arts and crafts, building model bridges, and exploring their artistic side! These creative activities help develop fine motor skills and encourage self-expression.
