Boys & Girls Clubs of Oceanside

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Oceanside was founded in 1952. The Club began as a small facility that served only male youth. Nearly twenty years later, the original Club was demolished and, in the early seventies, it reopened as the brand new Townsite facility. In the early 1990s, the Club expanded its services to all youth including girls. During the next six years, a new Computer Lab, Teen Center and recording studio were constructed. Membership reached 300 youth in 2007, when BGCO entered into a partnership with Oceanside Unified School District. Two years later, BGCO entered into the Vista Unified School District. In 2010, renovations began on the gymnasium and in 2011, the Art Room underwent renovations to become the Interactive Media Center. We are proud to announce that as of June 13, 2013 the Boys & Girls Clubs of Oceanside Townsite Clubhouse is officially open for business again. With deep appreciate and gratitude we thank everyone who has been part of the renovation.
