An affiliate of the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, the Foothill organization originated from the community's need to establish quality activities as a solution for delinquency, juvenile crime and drug use among the youth of Monrovia. The Club was founded by a group of civic leaders joined by area business people and interested persons. In 1994 the first Clubhouse was opened in Monrovia. The Club has served over 6000 children since our opening with more than 3, 000 boys and girls currently registered. For years the Club has provided guidance and constructive after school activities for "at risk youth living in the densely populated and multi-ethnic areas of Monrovia, Duarte and Arcadia.
