CONGRATS to our Club teens, Levin and Vivian, on earning the Kenny Washington Memorial Scholarship! 🎉

Named in honor of Kenny Washington's legacy of perseverance and breaking barriers, this scholarship recognizes outstanding students who are ready to make an impact in their communities and beyond.

Graduation photos may show caps and gowns, but they don’t show the tutoring sessions, college applications, career prep workshops, mentorship, and words of encouragement that happened long before. 💙

Through our College & Career Bound program, Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Los Angeles helps youth build the confidence, skills, and plans they need for life after high school. Like Miranda, a Club Kid who's starting her next chapter at UC Merced!

We’re proud to celebrate the Class of 2026 and all they’ve accomplished! We can’t wait to see what you do next!🎓
