Mar Vista Gardens

The Jack & Cindy Jones Mar Vista Gardens Boys & Girls Club


Nestled in the heart of the Mar Vista Gardens Los Angeles Public Housing Apartments, this Club was founded thanks to the generosity of Jack and Cindy Jones in 2013 to service the community’s hard-working residents.
The completely renovated 7,265 square foot building includes an exclusive teen space, art shop, technology and education center, full gym, tutoring rooms, and studio/sound booth. The Club is open to members between the ages of 6 and 18 years old where they can take advantage of programs and services, such as tutoring, homework assistance, develop social skills, sports, gain access to technology and other programs that promote healthy lifestyles and leadership skills. 

This club is full to capacity with about 185 kids every day after school, during breaks, and all summer long. Since our opening, members of the community will tell you the culture of the Club has had a significant impact on the culture of the entire community.
