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.
