LEADERSHIP & BELONGING

At Club, we value the uniqueness of every child who walks through our doors, affirming who they are today and inspiring who they will become. As your youth grows and develops in our programs, the Club provides them with the skills and confidence they need to use their voice to help shape the world around them. Club provides tailored support so every child can have hope for tomorrow, believe in their future and know they matter. Together, we are a vibrant tapestry of talents and perspectives, making the world a better place.

HEALTH & FITNESS

At Club, we create healthy habits for your youth that will last a lifetime. Through indoor and outdoor activities, your kids participate in a wide range of activities that get them moving and foster a love for being active. We empower individuals to lead healthier lives, emphasizing the remarkable resilience of the human body and mind. At our Clubhouses, your youth will learn about nutrition, meal preparation and cooking, as well as how to make the best choices to fuel their bodies. Your kids will enjoy our community garden and learn healthy habits to help us build healthier communities! Through education and support, we unlock the potential for vitality, energy, and happiness.

EMOTIONAL WELLNESS

The Mental & Emotional Support programming focuses on teaching your youth how to manage emotions, set goals, establish relationships and make responsible decisions. Though every child’s needs may vary, social and emotional learning never ends. We provide a safe space for healing, self-discovery, and personal growth. Through targeted and intentional programming, your youth will develop many life skills and staff can make referrals for more assistance when needed.

CREATIVE ARTS & STEM

Creative Arts and STEM programs celebrate the diverse talents that each person brings to the table. Whether you're a budding artist or a future scientist, we recognize the incredible strength that lies in your creativity and innovation. Our programs nurture your unique abilities, allowing you to explore, create, and innovate within your chosen field with hands-on skills that spark their imagination.

ACADEMIC SUCCESS

Through mentorship with our professional and caring team, we connect experienced individuals with those eager to learn. The Club’s academic-focused mentoring programs are tailored to meet the learning needs of each child to make learning fun incorporating plans that encourage success and opportunities for lifelong learning.

WORKFORCE READINESS

Workforce Readiness programs celebrate the incredible strength of individuals as they prepare to enter the professional world. We help develop essential skills, connect them with opportunities in the community, and foster the emotional intelligence needed to not only get a job, but to stay on the job and navigate workplace norms and challenges.

Additional Programming

HEALTHY MEALS & SNACKS

Healthy Meals and Snacks is focused on feeding our youth and eliminating food insecurity in Door County. We engage your youth in the concept of farm-to-table through field trips, gardening, beekeeping, hydroponics, foraging and other hands-on food-related activities. The Culinary Youth Apprenticeship Program assists juniors and seniors in getting a head start in their culinary careers.

SNACK SHACK

The Door County Teen Center space is designed with a small corner kitchen the members use as a store/restaurant called the Snack Shack. The Snack Shack allows your youth a chance to experience the process of acquiring a job utilizing some of the knowledge they learned from Academic Success. This program requires your youth to fill out a job application, participate in an interview and work shifts selling foods and drinks to other members. The goal is to make it feel as close to job experience as possible by giving members different positions in the shop and having them clean and set up before and after shifts.
