Congrats, Daylin Heredia!

Congratulations to Daylin Heredia! We are thrilled to have her as our 2023 Youth of the Year, crowned at our circus-themed celebration this past Saturday. This event honors exceptional teens for their remarkable achievements in leadership, service, and academic excellence.

“Boys & Girls Clubs of Northwest San Diego has provided me with so many opportunities that wouldn’t have been offered to me otherwise. I could join sports, leadership programs, Smart Girls, and more. Being an active member of the Club has shaped me into the best person I can be, and at such a young age. The Club has brought me into a new chapter of my life and has set me down a path that I didn’t know existed. My life has changed forever.”

Make a Difference

Founded in 1966, Boys & Girls Clubs of Northwest San Diego is the longest-serving youth nonprofit in the San Dieguito community, with no child turned away due to their family’s financial situation. Our programs focus on three main outcomes: Good Character & Citizenship, Academic Success, and Healthy Lifestyles. We level the playing field through activities in our core program areas: the Arts; Character & Leadership Development; Education & Career Development; Health & Life Skills; Sports, Fitness & Recreation; and Technology.

Our 7 Clubhouses and 7 specialty programs throughout Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Encinitas, & Solana Beach served more than 4,600 youth members and impact over 10,600 San Diego youth in 2022. Last year, we award over $385,000 in financial assistance through our after-school & specialty programs, (Aquatics/Rancho San Dieguito Swim Team, Athletics/BIG 8 Middle School Sports, Bulldogs Basketball, Carmel Valley Montessori School, Centers For a Healthy Lifestyle, Summer Adventure Camps and Youth Arts Academy), to ensure all local youth can have the foundation for a GREAT FUTURE.
