Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger has approved $140,000 in funding to the Santa Clarita Valley Boys & Girls Club through the county’s Community Services Block Grant.
This grant will help Santa Clarita Valley Boys & Girls Club focus on the needs of the Val Verde community by implementing a full summer day camp program for youth at Val Verde Park.
They will also increase services to children and youth throughout the Santa Clarita Valley including homework assistance, educational programs (e.g., science club, digital arts, writing club, robotics, reading club, and math games) and provide participants with materials such as books, school supplies, computers, and internet access.
