That’s the case with the Mountain View/Los Altos Service League of Boys (SLOBs), which recently completed its third year of service in the community.

With more than 100 boys representing a dozen middle and high schools, SLOBs is a philanthropic organization that seeks to strengthen parent-son relationships and promote leadership development through community service activities.

SLOBs focuses on serving the diverse needs of communities in Los Altos, Mountain View and surrounding cities, whether it’s to serve those in need, visit with seniors, help the environment, work with youth or assist the city.

SLOBs is led by an executive board of boys and parent volunteers who are voted in annually by members.

The city of Los Altos has been a major recipient of SLOBs service.

This year Los Altos Community Foundation provided 501(c)3 fiscal sponsorship for SLOBs, simplifying the financial and tax aspects of management.
