Girls’ Club/Teen Club
The first philanthropic program adopted by the chapter was Girls’ Club
in 1954. Since 1960 when the chapter acquired the house at 913 East Santa
Clara Street, Ventura, the Girls’ Club has had permanent headquarters.
In 1968, a Teen Club was added to the program.

The girls are supervised by paid staff, aided
by Assistance League members. A wholesome
program is offered with emphasis on home-
making, creative arts and recreational
activities five afternoons a week during the
school year. The programs are designed to
develop creative and academic achievement,
and self-respect and to provide enrichment.
An all day summer camp is offered mid June
to mid August. Enrollment in the Girls’ Club is
approximately 80 and Teen Club is approximately
28. A nominal quarterly fee, donations, grants and
chapter fundraising activities support the program.
Full or partial scholarships are available. |
