About this Club
The Guadalupe Branch offers an after school program, teen leadership, youth sports leagues, homework and tutoring assistance.
Our club opened in 1989. The Town of Guadalupe is named for the Virgin of Guadalupe, the patron saint of Mexico. Guadalupe was founded by Yaqui Indians around the turn of the century. The Town of Guadalupe was incorporated in 1975 and is approximately one square mile in area. It will remain this size since it is "surrounded" by man-made boundaries – Interstate 10 and the City of Phoenix on the west, Baseline Road and the City of Tempe on the North, the City of Tempe on the South; and by the Salt River Project's Highline Canal on the East. Our Branch serves Guadalupe and Ahwatukee communities.
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.
