  Hometown Hero: Allan Young: Boys and Girls Club
  ...
  Allan Young got his first job at the Santa Monica Boys Club. He had been named the 1963 "Youth of the Year" and a part time job went with the award. 2009 will be his last year at the Club. He has personally worked with thousands of boys and girls and their families.
  ...
  Allan went to Roosevelt Elementary and his dad felt Allan needed to play with kids from all kinds of backgrounds and that his elementary school didn't give him that experience. "My dad was ahead of his time."
  
  From his "Youth of the Year" job to being Assistant Athletic Director, he continued to work at the Club all the way through high school at SAMOHI and college at SMC and Northridge. In 1966 he was drafted and went to the Naval Dental School and then served, as a dental tech, in both Guam and Vietnam.
  
  When he returned, Cyril Gale, a Santa Monica dentist and President of the Boys Club Board, said he would help him go to dental school. But Allan wanted to work at the club. By 1969 he was the Club's Athletic Director. In 1977 he became the Executive Director.
  ...
  When Allan came to realize that he "had to change with the times" he met individually with each of the 45 Santa Monica Board Members to get agreement because he didn't want to go to court over the issue. Now Allen says, "One of the things I regret most was not serving girls sooner. Girls are in every sport and activity and they make the club a better place for everyone."
  
  This summer Allan is taking twelve, 16-18 year old teenagers, of diverse backgrounds, to Kenya on a program run by "Free the Children", a Canadian organization where his daughter works. "The purpose is to teach our kids that they can make a difference. But I believe this experience will change them in a good way. The kids will build a school and the adults will build a medical clinic. Real progress gets made one person and one project at a time: one more school, one more clinic, one more water purification plant."
  
  Retirement doesn't mean not working for Allan. He will be at the Pacific Youth Foundation working on global problems of youth, poverty and education.

  "The mission of the Boys & Girls Club is to help young people reach their full potential as caring, responsible adults and the money provided to us today on behalf of LG Mobile Phones will help with this goal - as donations are essential to building and sustaining the programs that enable us to make a real difference in the lives of local youth," said Allan Young,President and CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Monica.

  At a recent fund-raiser for our local YWCA, I had a chance to talk with Allan Young, the Director of the Boys and Girls Club of Santa Monica. He told me that in this Recession, they are seeing more and more families in need of their services, many more than they can respond to. And he told me about the numbers of single moms living with their children in their cars, pleading with him to allow them to park in his lot so that at least they'll feel safe at night and can sleep unafraid.

  It will be open before and after school, during lunch, and during vacation and holiday periods - six days a week, 12 months a year - according to Boys & Girls Club of Santa Monica President Allan Young.The club will offer dance, theatre, and music, as well as a place to hang out and have fun, he said.
  
  Major funding for the clubhouse at JAMS was provided by the Rotary Club as a "Century Project," celebrating its 100th anniversary.The clubhouse project survived three SMMUSD superintendents, four Rotary presidents, and state regulations that would only allow modular structures for a life of five years or less, said Young, but now "we're a week and a half ahead of [the new] schedule," he noted.
