Guadalupe Centers, Inc. - Youth and Recreation

Youth & Recreation

The Guadalupe Center Inc.'s Youth Program is one of the agency's oldest. When it began operations in 1919, recreational outlets for immigrant Mexicans in the Westside were nonexistent. To this day, the only year-round youth diversion and recreational programs for Westside residents are operated by GCI. The primary goal of the Youth Program is to provide Westside youth ages five through twenty with organized year-round athletic and recreational programs. Additionally, GCI strives to develop cultural awareness, creative use of leisure time, and interest in community projects.

Housed in the GCI's Sacred Heart Youth Center and gymnasium, the Youth Program provides a wide array of activities for interested Westside youth. For recreation, there is a supervised game room where youth up to age eighteen can play table games like foosball and bumper pool or participate in sports like volleyball and basketball. Additionally, GCI's Youth Program sponsors the Boy Scouts troop 106.
