The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Rogue Valley announced it has been selected as a recipient of a 2025 Community Grant from the Taco Bell Foundation.
This funding will go directly toward the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Rogue Valley's free Teen Program, which is designed to build life and workforce readiness skills -- ensuring that local middle and high school youth have access to a safe, supportive environment where they can grow, learn and thrive.
Jessica King, CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of the Rogue Valley, said their goal is to keep the Teen Program free and accessible to all youth. She said this grant helps them expand their reach and provide more teens with tools, experiences and the mentorship they need to build a strong foundation for their future.
The Taco Bell Foundation awarded a record-breaking $28 million in Community Grants this year to nearly 500 nonprofit organizations nationwide. The program uplifts youth in the communities that matter most to Taco Bell -- those of its fans and team members.
Boys & Girls Clubs of the Rogue Valley was nominated for the grant by local Taco Bell franchisee Weber Coastal Bells and Columbia Bells, whose commitment to uplifting youth has helped expand access to education, mentorship and career readiness across the Southern Oregon community.
