It Just Takes One

2020 Annual Campaign

Our organization has endured meaningful disruption this year in the form of multiple unanticipated challenges, and those challenges will not simply vanish in 2021. More importantly, our youth have experienced educational disruptions with added social, mental, and economic stressors that will impact them for years to come. But obstacles generate solutions and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Barron County are doing whatever it takes to help kids succeed. This includes shifting our focus to help with learning loss, homework help, virtual learning, providing trauma-informed care, mental health support, and an ability to cope. There is no doubt we are having a measurable positive impact on the kids we serve.

“With your investment, we will continue to positively impact the lives of more young people, especially those that need us most. And, we will keep them safe, learning and growing in our clubs through the most critical years of their development,” says Chad Thompson.
