In every community, boys and girls are left to find their own recreation and companionship during the vital "afterschool" time frame. An increasing number of children are at home with no adult care or supervision. Young people need to know that they have a safe, supervised place to go where they can learn and HAVE FUN.
The Boys & Girls Club of Green Bay helps school age youth make better choices and reach their full potential. As experts in youth development, our professionally trained staff offers nationally-proven programs in a safe and accepting environment. It is our belief that all young people, regardless of background or circumstances, should be equipped to respect others and make our community a better place to live.
If you have any questions regarding Afterschool Programs, please contact Danielle Jandrain, Director of School Operations at 920.494.7090 ext. 1052 or email her at djandrain@bgcgb.org | .
