Built by Our Community, Built for Their Future.

OUR CLUB

For more than four decades, Boys & Girls Clubs of Manteca and Lathrop has created a place where young people can belong, discover what they’re capable of, and build the skills and confidence to shape their future.

A Place to Belong
Since 1982

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Manteca and Lathrop was founded by local community leaders and service clubs who believed in the power of young people. Thanks to their vision and the generosity of our community, including a major contribution from Antone Raymus and the volunteer efforts of local tradespeople led by Don Stewart, the original clubhouse at 545 W. Alameda Street was built by the community, for the community.

We opened our doors in January 1982 and have been proudly serving local youth ever since.

A History of Impact
