Lincoln (Main) Branch

Our Main Branch is located within walking distance of downtown Santa Monica. Since 1944, it has been one of the cornerstone organizations of the Santa Monica community, representing all ethnicities and income levels. We can service up to 200 children at full capacity. Kids are brought in by van and chaperoned walks from several local elementary schools, servicing over 128 zip codes across Los Angeles. 

The Main Branch has a state of the art technology and music center and an action-packed games room filled with healthy snacks for unwinding and connecting with friends and mentors. This Club also features an exclusive teen space for our young leaders to get work done, visit with each other, work on college applications, play games, connect, watch movies, and more. Main also hosts our popular signature program, Biddy Basketball, a thriving league for 7 to 14 year olds.

77 Years

The Lincoln “Main” Branch is the original branch of Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Monica, founded 77 years ago. Main has a rich history of serving all youth regardless of the school they attend and community they live in or socio-economic status. Youth ages 6 – 18 have participated in the arts, athletics, STEM, leadership and summer camps ever since.

Specialty Program Space

The Main Branch is located in Santa Monica, just blocks away from the world-famous Santa Monica Pier. In the building, our youth have access to an indoor basketball court/ Gymnasium with bleachers, a tech center with 30 desktop computers, 3D printers and recording studio, a large teen center with college bound, a games room, cafeteria and fully operating kitchen. The Club also includes a playground and a large blacktop play area for additional games, sports and community events.

Biddy Basketball

Main is home to one of our most successful athletics programs, Biddy Basketball. For many years members have had the opportunity to learn and compete in the sport of Basketball and the winners have gone on to travel to Hawaii for the final tournament. Near the entrance of the gym, you will find a trophy case showcasing our members’ amazing accomplishments.
