About
Boys & Girls Clubs of Wisconsin is part of a nationwide movement that began when the first club was founded in 1860 in Hartford, Connecticut. In Wisconsin, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Milwaukee began in 1887 as the Plymouth Boys' Club in the basement of Plymouth Congregational Church, founded by Annabell Cook Whitcomb. Clubs in Wisconsin offer programs that promote the positive development of young people by instilling a sense of belonging, usefulness, influence or power, and competence.
The mission of Boys & Girls Clubs of Wisconsin is to enable all young people, especially those who need opportunity the most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible adults. Wisconsin clubs serve over 135,500 youth across 189 sites in 77 communities, and 26 Club Agencies across the state oversee 203 sites in 77 cities. Every year, the clubs work with over 125,000 Wisconsin youth and serve over two million meals and snacks, including 2,042,432 meals and snacks each year at no cost to kids. Wisconsin Clubs serve more youth than any other state organization outside of the public school system, and more kids per population than any state in the country. The organization reports $597 million in economic benefits returned to communities and individuals annually. One testimonial from Tommy Walls, the 2010 Wisconsin Youth of the Year, states, “The Club saw leadership capabilities in me, and changed the direction of my destiny.”
