1938 Legacy Society

In 1938, community members devised a plan to provide after-school programming for youth in Santa Barbara and founded the Boys Club of Santa Barbara. Here at United Boys & Girls Clubs, our story began in a small abandoned firehouse with only 11 kids, and today we have now grown to serve over 5,000 youth throughout Santa Barbara County. Our founders came up with a plan, and through many decade, thousands of supporters have grown our organization to where it is today. Generations of families have relied on our Clubs, and with your gift, we can keep that plan alive and robust. Part of your estate plan can become part of United Boys & Girls Clubs’ future.
