The Variety Boys and Girls Club was founded in 1949 by the Variety Club-tent 25, a.k.a. The Variety Children’s Charity. The Club was their first charity and continues to receive a steady flow of financial support. Variety is an international group of people in the entertainment business whose goal is to help underprivileged children. Tent 25 is the Los Angeles chapter and all funds raised by them goes to improving the lives of kids throughout Los Angeles and nearby areas. Tent 25 is responsible for raising the $5,000,000 dollars that produced our new facility, the Club.

This facility symbolizes the heightened expectations of the Board, Staff and our youth, and serves as a representation of the Club’s commitment to serve more children in the community as well as provide space for other community organizations to host programs and events. In addition to our main site, we opened a satellite club at Pueblo Del Sol in 2008. This satellite club is just two minutes away and within a public housing development administered by the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles.
