Program Areas

Join Club

Our programs are dedicated to supporting and enriching the strengths and capabilities of the next generation, empowering them to reach their full potential. By providing the tools and resources they need, we aim to cultivate the leaders, innovators, and change-makers of tomorrow right here in the Greater Green Bay community.

The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Green Bay provides programs for your youth in multiple core areas:

LEADERSHIP

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 create meaningful change in the world around them. Leadership activities empower youth to support and influence their Club and community through service learning and advocacy projects.

HEALTHLY LIFESTYLES

HEALTHY LIFESTYLES

At Club, we create healthy habits for your youth that will last a lifetime. Healthy Lifestyles programs equip youth with resiliency and health literacy skills so they can make informed decisions about their health; they consist of opportunities to learn about and practice nutrition, physical fitness and responsible decision-making. Through education and support, we unlock the potential for vitality, energy and happiness.

EMOTIONAL WELLNESS

Emotional Wellness programming supports youth in developing their social and emotional skills, including managing their emotions, setting goals, establishing positive relationships and building resiliency. 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. Staff can make referrals for more assistance when needed.

CREATIVE ARTS

Creative Arts programs celebrate the diverse talents that every person brings to the table. The Creative Arts nurture each youth’s artistic abilities, allowing them to explore, create and innovate using hands-on skills that spark the imagination and foster self-expression and creative problem solving.

Education

Through mentorship with our professional and caring team, we connect experienced individuals with those eager to learn. Education programs complement and reinforce what youth learn during the school day while creating experiences that invite them to fall in love with learning. Activities in this pillar enable youth to be effective, engaged learners who exhibit literacy skills, develop STEM competencies and are on track to graduate with a plan for the future.

WORKFORCE READINESS

Workforce Readiness programs celebrate the incredible strength of individuals as they prepare to enter the professional world. Career exploration activities, financial literacy skill building and work-based learning opportunities prepare youth for the workforce. We help connect youth 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.

A Creative Canvas

No dream is too small when under the guidance of Mr. Craig. Even interviewing a Green Bay Packer on a Club-created video podcast! A class project led to an opportunity to have a conversation with NFL star Jonathan Owens. Led by Mr. Craig, nine Club members learned how to script, edit and produce a video podcast. Club allows youth to develop their creativity and innovate while building upon their capacity to complete technical and detailed project outcomes. Their confidence in these projects allows them to approach their academic subjects with renewed confidence and determination because if they can make a podcast, they can do anything!
