Our Programs

Empowering young people to reach their full potential through outcome-driven programs in academic success, healthy lifestyles, and character development.

Building Great Futures Every Day

The Boys & Girls Club of Kenosha provides a safe, positive environment for youth ages 6-18 during critical out-of-school hours. Our professionally trained staff deliver nationally recognized programs from Boys & Girls Clubs of America that help young people succeed in school, develop leadership skills, and build healthy habits for life.

Annual membership starts at just $20/year for youth (ages 6-12), $30/year for families with 2 or more children, and is FREE for teens (ages 13-18). Membership includes access to all programs, activities, free daily meals, and the Basic Needs Closet. Financial assistance is available — no child is turned away due to inability to pay.

We provide transportation from 9 Kenosha elementary schools via “Gus the Bus,” making it easy for kids to get to the Club after school.

Scholarships

We invest in our inspiring teens to give them opportunities to pursue their dreams and become young leaders who will shape our world.
Making college accessible and affordable to hard-working, under-resourced students is of the utmost importance. The scholarship support offered in conjunction with our partners creates life-changing opportunities for local youth and allows universities to attract motivated, dedicated students.
