Starting in April 2018, families in Scotts Valley and San Lorenzo Valley now have a new after-school and summer option for their kids. Ideal for children of working parents, and open to all children, the new Joe & Linda Aliberti Clubhouse in Scotts Valley offers a broad range of educational, enrichment and recreation activities to provide quality programming for a child’s “out-of-school” time.

Memberships are $75 per year.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Cruz County (BGCSCC), the largest year-round youth development organization in Santa Cruz County, serves more than 2,000 youth members ages 6-18 through academic, art, teen and recreation programs. The new Joe & Linda Aliberti Clubhouse is the third Clubhouse of the BGCSCC, which also operates clubs in downtown Santa Cruz and Live Oak.

BGCSCC offers affordable, safe and thriving community hubs with skilled, caring professionals who understand where youth are coming from and work with them to shape their path towards a great future.

The Joe & Linda Aliberti Clubhouse features a 3,000 square foot building and 12,000 square foot outside play area. A “walking bus,” with Club staff escorting students from Vine Hill Elementary School and Scotts Valley Middle School to the Club, will be available each day after school.

Clubhouse programs and activities will include homework help and tutoring, computer and technology programs, arts and crafts projects, sports games and activities. Special program opportunities are also planned for youth 13 years and over.

The new Clubhouse is open for afterschool programming from:
2:00p.m. – 7:00p.m. (M, T, Th, F) and 12:30p.m. – 7:00p.m. on Wednesdays.
Summer programs will take place 7:30a.m. – 6:00 p.m. weekdays beginning June 11.

“The Joe & Linda Aliberti Clubhouse will be an important community resource and asset for Scotts Valley and San Lorenzo Valley families,” said Bruce McPherson, Santa Cruz County 5th District Supervisor. “Now working parents and families will have an affordable, safe, fun and supported option for their children during out of school time.”

“We’re thrilled that Joe and Linda Aliberti’s vision to provide a safe and supportive place for kids and teenagers is now a reality. Their unwavering belief in the project and what it will mean for kids has been inspirational,” said BGCSCC Executive Director Bob Langseth. “We’re looking forward to positively impacting the lives of children and the community throughout Scotts Valley and San Lorenzo Valley.”
