SAN JOSE, CA, November 19, 2019 – Boys & Girls Clubs of Silicon Valley (BGCSV) will mark its official Grand Opening on December 17th at the Alviso Clubhouse of its newly remodeled technology labs fully sponsored by AMD with a ribbon-cutting event.
“Through AMD’s support, we can ensure the highest quality delivery of our STEM components 21st Century Learning Initiative, which is our suite of STEM, literacy, college and career readiness programs” commented Max Duganne, CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Silicon Valley.
