We’re excited to announce the September opening of the Boys & Girls Club of Washington Middle School in Manitowoc County!
This school-based Club will operate within Washington Middle School. The Boys & Girls Club of Washington Middle School will start on Tuesday, September 3, 2024, and serve youth in 6th-8th grades who attend that school. After-school programming takes place between 3 – 6 pm every Monday-Friday. Youth who attend the Club would also be provided with a snack daily.
This Club will feature a wide array of positive youth development programs in the core areas of Education, Health and Wellness, Workforce Readiness, Character & Leadership, and the Arts. Club members will also benefit from the opportunities to develop healthy relationships with each other and Club staff.
Registration will open on Monday, August 5, 2024. To learn more about the Caregiver Portal that parents/caregivers will need to use to register their youth, please visit: https://www.bgclubfoxvalley.org/caregiver-portal/

What’s the Boys & Girls Club all about?
We’re passionate about providing kids with a safe, fun, engaging place to experience new things, all while surrounded by caring adults who believe in them. Our purpose is to help make our communities great places for all kids to learn and grow.
We seek to provide as many youth as possible with:
- A safe, positive environment
- Recognition for who kids are and what they can achieve
- Supportive relationships with caring adults
- Opportunities
- Fun and a sense of belonging
Can you share more about the grant funding that makes this Club possible?
The Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Center (CCLC) grant-funded programs provide a broad array of activities during out-of-school time (such as before and after school, weekends, and during school breaks). Grantees provide academic enrichment services that align to academic standards, the identified learning needs, and interests of students. Grantees also provide students with access to a wide variety of additional learning opportunities, such as those that focus on youth development, social and emotional learning (SEL), civic engagement, and nutritional and physical health. Additionally, grantees provide the adult family members of program participants opportunities for their own educational development and engagement in their children’s education.
