Back 2 School Drive

Make a Donation

Thanks to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego’s Back 2 School Drive, our Club kids head into the school year feeling confident and prepared — with all the essentials they need to start strong!

Because of generous partners and supporters like you, our Club kids receive backpacks packed with everything they need to succeed — from notebooks and binders to crayons, glue sticks, and more!

Your support goes even further. Donations also help fund our Academic Success Programs, making sure members have the tools they need to tackle homework and explore exciting learning opportunities after school, all year long.

Please confirm participation in advance with Sommer Cartier at Scartier@sdyouth.org
