Boys & Girls Club of Kenosha: Supporting Youth This Summer and Fall

The Boys & Girls Club of Kenosha is starting one of its busiest stretches of the year. July through September brings a full calendar of programming designed to keep young people active, engaged, and prepared for the school year ahead — and the Club is calling on the broader Kenosha County community to help sustain that momentum.

Summer at the Club means far more than keeping kids busy. Members participate in educational field trips, organized sports leagues, STEM activities, arts programming, leadership development, and career exploration — all structured to help youth build confidence and develop real-world skills.

As families transition back to school in August and September, the Club’s programming shifts to focus on what students need most: academic support, healthy meals and snacks, mentorship, and character development. For many Kenosha County families, the Club is the go-to resource during out-of-school hours, providing a safe, supervised environment when the school day ends.

These aren’t new commitments. The Boys & Girls Club of Kenosha has served thousands of youth across the community each year, and the demand for those services continues to grow alongside the organization’s capacity to meet it.

The Club’s ability to run these programs depends directly on support from the Kenosha community — local businesses, civic organizations, volunteers, and individual donors. Every contribution, whether a donated hour or a financial gift, translates into resources, meals, mentorship, and opportunity for a local child or teen.

Staff and volunteers see those outcomes daily: young people discovering new interests, overcoming personal challenges, and building the kind of confidence and skills that carry them into adulthood. According to the Club, none of that happens without the collective investment of the people and organizations around them.

This quarter is also one of the Club’s most active periods for community fundraising and engagement events. Local businesses interested in sponsorships and individuals looking to get more involved are encouraged to connect with the Club directly.

The Club has outlined three specific ways Kenosha County residents can make a difference this season:

Volunteer. Whether you can offer professional skills, coach a sport, or simply serve as a consistent, positive presence for a young person, the Club has a place for you. Explore current volunteer opportunities at bit.ly/BGCKVolunteer.

Donate. Financial contributions go directly toward programming, healthy meals, and resources that give every child access to what they need to succeed. Gifts of any size are accepted at bit.ly/BGCKDonate.

Learn more. Families, supporters, and community partners can explore programs, find upcoming events, and discover other ways to get involved at bgckenosha.org or by calling 262-654-6200.

The Boys & Girls Club of Kenosha operates at 1330 52nd Street in Kenosha and serves youth across the county. As the new school year gets underway, the organization is asking the community to think about what a safe, structured, supportive after-school environment means for a child — and to consider playing a part in making that available to as many kids as possible.

The need is real, the programs are in place, and the impact is measurable. What grows alongside it is community.

The Boys & Girls Club of Kenosha is a youth guidance organization dedicated to promoting health, social, educational, vocational, cultural, character, and leadership development. The Club helps youth improve their lives by building skills, values, and self-esteem.
