An increasing number of children stay at home with no supervision. They are left to find their own recreation and companionship. The Boys and Girls Club offers a safe, positive, and productive place for children to go after school and during school breaks.

The Boys and Girls Club empowers all young people to reach their full potential by instilling a sense of confidence and belonging. Staff and volunteers offer free tutoring and homework help, and members participate in daily activities that focus on five core areas: Character & Leadership, Education & Career, Health & Life Skills, The Arts, and Sports, Fitness, & Recreation.

Since 2004, the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Greater Chippewa Valley have positively impacted the lives of more than 6,000 youth. The organization has expanded from one Club in Eau Claire to locations in Chippewa Falls, Black River Falls, and Menomonie. The Eau Claire club even moved recently, opening the Mary Markquart Center on Oxford Avenue. Through the outpouring of community support, the Club has been the difference in the lives of many local youth.

The community is so important to the club and without it, the Boys and Girls Club wouldn’t exist. If you’re interested in learning more, or if you would like to support the club by donating or volunteering, visit their website to learn more and make a difference in a child’s life today.
