A Safe Place to Learn, Play, and Grow

Every day after school, hundreds of Kenosha kids come to the Boys & Girls Club for a structured, supportive environment where they can get help with homework, explore their interests, build friendships, and develop skills that will serve them for life. Our professionally trained Youth Development Professionals guide members through nationally recognized programs from Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

Youth membership is just $20 per year ($30 for families with 2 or more siblings), and includes access to all programs, free daily meals, and the Basic Needs Closet. Free transportation via “Gus the Bus” is available from 9 KUSD elementary schools, including Brass Elementary, Bose Elementary, Curtis Strange Elementary, Frank Elementary, Grant Elementary, Grewenow Elementary, Harvey Elementary, Roosevelt Elementary, Kenosha School of Learning, and LUMIN (Renaissance Lutheran) School in Racine.
