Clubs empower youth to become tomorrow's leaders through everyday moments.
Everyday moments in a safe space that propels youth to unlock their potential, with caring staff to support their goals and amplify their voices. Each day at the Club, young people are learning and growing, building their confidence, gaining valuable life and career skills, and developing healthy relationships with their peers and mentors.
When our community empowers youth, we are building our future workforce, mentoring tomorrow’s leaders, and creating a brighter future – together. The Club is needed now more than ever to support the health and wellbeing of kids.
Boys & Girls Club-Columbia County/Portage is the fourth club of Boys & Girls Clubs of West-Central Wisconsin and the 200th Blue Door to open in the state of Wisconsin.
