BOYS & GIRLS CLUB OF
ALISO VIEJO
Just a stone's throw away from Geneva's campus, over the years we have enjoyed a close relationship with the Boys & Girls Club Family Resource Center in Iglesia Park. Our mission has always been to be a resource for the Center when they need outside support. Whether providing a few more helping hands or additional funding for programs or supplies, the church will continue to be neighbors they can count upon.
