Rep. Lieu Celebrates $1M He Secured for the LA Harbor Boys and Girls Clubs

LOS ANGELES — Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Los Angeles County) Sept. 4 presented a $1 million check to the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Los Angeles Harbor or BGCLAH to expand youth services in Los Angeles County. The funding will help build upon the success of the Harbor City Boys and Girls Clubs’ Pathways to Success project, which provides college and career support to young individuals in Congressman Lieu’s district. The Congressman requested and secured $1 million for the organization in the fiscal year 2023 government spending package. 

“The LA Harbor Boys and Girls Clubs does incredible work lifting up young people, especially those most in need, and helping them reach their full potential,” said Congressman Lieu. “BGCLAH provide enriching academic, arts, and athletic programming that enables young people to develop their passions and thrive. I am honored to secure federal funding to help BGCLAH further its mission. With this new funding, BGCLAH will be able to reach even more young people in my congressional district and help set them on a path to success.”

“This substantial contribution will catalyze further growth and development of our programs across the district,” said Mike Lansing, CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the LA Harbor. “We are deeply grateful for this support, which ensures that we can continue to offer vital resources and a safe environment for our young members to learn, develop, and thrive.”
