Today we honor Juneteenth, a day that commemorates freedom, resilience, and the continued pursuit of equality for all.
At the Boys & Girls Club of Burbank and Greater East Valley, we believe in celebrating the rich history, culture, and contributions of the African American community while empowering young people to learn, lead and create positive change in the world around them.
As we reflect on the significance of this day, we remain committed to fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment where every child feels valued, respected and inspired to reach their full potential.
Happy Juneteenth! ❤️💛💚🖤

We were excited to welcome participants from the Summer Workforce Readiness Program at the Boys & Girls Club of Burbank and Greater East Valley to the Burbank Fire Department! 🚒

Our members enjoyed sharing what makes the fire service such a rewarding profession and providing local youth with a behind-the-scenes look at the many opportunities available in public safety. Thank you for visiting—we look forward to seeing the next generation of community leaders and first responders!

BGCA, DC and Discovery Education scaled the DC Superpowered Storytellers Program! At Boys & Girls Clubs, art is a powerful tool for youth development. Did you know 72% of Club kids can communicate their thoughts and feelings through art, while 55% are interested in exploring future careers in the arts?
DC Superpowered Storytellers gives youth the opportunity to do both by stepping into the world of comics. Through hands-on activities, Club kids build storytelling skills, participate in events like Batman Day, and explore career possibilities through experiences such as visiting the Warner Bros. studio lot. Club staff also receive training to help bring youth stories to life through illustration techniques and comic book components.
The Boys & Girls Club of Burbank and Greater East Valley was one of the first hubs of DC Superpowered Storytellers. Leaders immediately recognized the value of a program that blended creativity, literacy and the excitement of the DC universe.
Hands on activities allowed members to think critically, collaborate with peers and explore new forms of self-expression while creating stories inspired by their own experiences.
Following the success of the pilot, DC Superpowered Storytellers is now available to schools and Boys & Girls Clubs nationwide, providing lesson plans, activities and training materials that help more youth build confidence and spark imagination.
The partnership also creates unique opportunities for youth to explore careers in entertainment. This summer, DC President, Publisher and Chief Creative Officer Jim Lee spoke with Burbank Club youth about storytelling, illustration and careers in comics.
On June 10, 2026, DC invited more than 230 youth from Los Angeles community organizations, including nearly 80 from Burbank and Pasadena Clubs, to a special Studio Day on the Warner Bros. lot. Youth toured the studio, visited the Superman Experience and participated in creative activities, including designing comic book covers and a masterclass with Jim Lee. We are incredibly grateful for this partnership and the life-changing opportunities it continues to provide for our youth.

On June 10th 2026, 63 of our members between the ages of 11-15 had the incredible opportunity to visit Warner Bros. Studios as part of the DC Superpowered Storytellers program. Throughout the day, members participated in interactive storytelling activities, received a tour of the Warner Bros. lot, experienced the brand new immersive Superman Experience: Defenders Unite, and received an exclusive master class from legendary DC Comics artist and President, Publisher, and Chief Creative Officer Jim Lee.
The experience encouraged our youth to use their creativity, embrace the power of storytelling, and see firsthand how imagination, art, and technology come together to bring iconic characters and stories to life.
We are so grateful to Warner Bros. Discovery, DC Comics, and Jim Lee for providing our members with a truly unforgettable day.

Our Garden Club members spend their Mondays during summer helping tend to the gardens at Jefferson and Edison alongside Staff Rick. From watering and weeding to harvesting and cleaning, members worked hard to ensure the gardens continue to thrive throughout the summer months.
These hands-on experiences teach responsibility, teamwork and the importance of caring for our environment. As a reward for their dedication and hard work, campers enjoy a sweet treat after each gardening session!
Great job, gardeners!
