About this Club
The Superstition Mountain Branch offers an after school program, teen leadership, youth sports programs, homework, and tutoring assistance. The Club here was founded in August 1994 by a group of citizens under the leadership of City Council Member Grace Hagner. In April 1998, the Boys & Girls Club of Apache Junction merged with Boys & Girls Clubs of the East Valley. Recently the name was changed in April 2016 to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the East Valley - Superstition Mountain Branch to better reflect the areas that we serve. The Club is open 241 days a year and serves an average of 135 youth daily. The Club provides support to working families, single parents, and grandparents raising their grandchildren. Financial aid is provided to those in need. Our staff members are active within the community and want to help your children develop their Character & Leadership, Education, Health & Life Skills, and Career Pathways. Our Clubs offer all youth and teens Sports, Fitness, Recreation, and the Arts. Register below or in the Club for the school year! If you are a new member, your registration will have to be approved by Club staff (typically within 48 hours) before it can be completed. If you have additional questions, please contact a Branch Assistant.
