Five years after opening its doors in the Maxwell Village Shopping Center, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma Valley is giving up the lease on its teen-centric club location.
Club CEO Cary Snowden told the Index-Tribunethat while the program “continues to thrive,” because it is a free offering, “the financial sustainability of the building itself is just too much with the onset of COVID.”
“We’ve always known taking over that big space was a financial stretch,” she said, and expressed her appreciation to the supporters that the program over the past five years.
The club expanded its membership to include high school students in 2009. There are currently 2,622 members, ages 6 to 18, served out of five school sites, plus the two club buildings.
