Best Youth Center Roseville Near Me

4worldlovers:
Please go the the Boys and Girls Club website for additional information on registration and the wonderful program being offered in Roseville.

A special THANK YOU for those of you that have given so faithfully to Excel Roseville for the past 23 years. It became apparent to the Excel Board members that we had taken the program as far as we could as a volunteer organization last summer when had to turn kids away because of limited space. At the same time we were approached by Boys and Girls Club of Placer County and on April 12th, 2019, Boys and Girls Club of Placer County began what we believe will be a long and successful journey in Roseville.

The mission of Boys and Girls Club is similar to Excel Roseville and we are delighted that they are committed to serving many more children in the community than our resources permitted.

Excel Roseville played a critical role in helping young people and their families in our community every year, whose lives were at risk for illiteracy, hunger, violence, and poverty. Like Excel, Boys and Girls Club integrates proven youth development principles and a strengths-based approach in order to help our community’s youth maximize success in their personal and academic paths.

Our Board and staff will assist in the transition and, because our hearts are committed to these children, we hope to advocate for Boys and Girls Club in Roseville for many years to come.

Lions have a dynamic history. Founded in 1917, we are best known for fighting blindness, but we also volunteer for many different kinds of community projects - including caring for the environment, feeding the hungry and aiding seniors and the disabled.

Lions give sight. By conducting vision screenings, equipping hospitals and clinics, distributing medicine and raising awareness of eye disease, Lions work toward their mission of providing vision for all. We have extended our commitment to sight conservation through countless local efforts and through our international SightFirst Program, which works to eradicate blindness.

Lions serve youth. Our community projects often support local children and schools through scholarships, recreation and mentoring. Internationally, we offer many programs, including the Peace Poster Contest, Youth Camps and Exchange and Lions Quest.

Our Leo Program provides the youth of the world with an opportunity for personal development through volunteering. There are approximately 144,000 Leos and 5,700 Leo clubs in more than 140 countries worldwide.

Lions award grants. Since 1968, the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) has awarded more than US$700 million in grants to support Lions humanitarian projects around the world. LCIF was also ranked the number one nongovernmental organization in a 2007 study by The Financial Times.

Lions help during disasters. Together, our Foundation and Lions are helping communities following natural disasters by providing for immediate needs such as food, water, clothing and medical supplies – and aiding in long-term reconstruction.

Lions are active. Our motto is "We Serve." Lions are part of a global service network, doing whatever is necessary to help our local communities.
