History

The Club has served well over 90,000 youth since opening its doors in 1952 - the same year that the City of Carlsbad was incorporated.- as the Carlsbad Boys Club.


The Club's original location on Roosevelt Street in the Village has been renovated five different times, the most recent having been completed in 1999.


A second facility, housed in a double wide trailer, was added in 1982 in La Costa to serve the southern sector of the city. In 2011, a new state-of-the art Clubhouse located in the geographic center of Carlsbad - Bressi Ranch - opened its doors replacing the La Costa trailer.


In 1994, the Carlsbad Club led the nation by including females in its daily programming, becoming the Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad.


In order to serve the youth who need us most, teen programs on the campuses of both Carlsbad and Sage Creek High Schools were inaugurated in 2015.
