The organization is a non-profit, as indicated by their 'About Us' section and the nature of Boys & Girls Clubs. They offer day programs, primarily after-school and summer camps, focusing on academic success, good character and citizenship, and healthy lifestyles, as detailed on their 'Programs' page.

The organization maintains active social media presences on Instagram (@bgcburbank) and Facebook (BGCBurbank).
