Who We Are

Board of Trustees

The Boys & Girls Club of Hawthorne is led by a volunteer Board of Trustees. The Board’s priorities are governance, fundraising, oversight of the Club’s strategy, and volunteerism. The Board of Trustees is composed of community leaders who unselfishly give of their time, talent and expertise to make our Club one of the finest youth facilities in the area.
