Our mission is to inspire and empower all youth to realize their full potential.
In 2002, we originally opened our doors to a Clubhouse in Junction City and downtown Stevens Point and began serving hundreds of youth almost immediately. Today, we've expanded our reach to serve some 2,200 youth in 9 service locations in Portage County, including Almond-Bancroft, Plover, Junction City, Rosholt, and Stevens Point. Our hours and days of operation vary by site. During the school year, our doors are open after school and during the summer months, we operate during the day. We feel these are the days and times when parents and kids need the Boys & Girls Club the most.
Boys & Girls Club of Portage County is part of a national network of affiliated Clubs. The national organization, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, began in 1860 with several women in Hartford, Conn.Believing that boys who roamed the streets should have a positive alternative, they organized the first Club.
Why Boys & Girls Clubs Are Special
Four key characteristics define the essence of a Boys & Girls Club. All are critical in exerting positive impact on the life of a child:
Dedicated Youth Facility: The Boys & Girls Club is a place – an actual neighborhood-based building – designed solely for youth programs and activities.
Open Daily: The Club is open every day, after school, when kids have free time and need positive, productive outlets.
Professional Staff: Every Club has full and part-time, trained youth development professionals, providing positive role models and mentors. Volunteers provide key supplementary support.
Available/Affordable to All Youth: Membership dues are affordable. Clubs reach out to kids who may lack access to other community programs.
