Our History
For 24 years, Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Wisconsin has been a cornerstone of support for youth in Sauk, Columbia, and Monroe Counties. We provide a safe, nurturing environment where kids can learn, grow, and thrive. Join us in empowering the next generation and building a brighter future for our community.
The Boys & Girls Club West Central Wisconsin was founded in Tomah in September 2000. The Boys & Girls Club of Baraboo/Sauk County was founded one year later in September of 2001. In 2009, the two clubs merged and began to embark on a journey where they officially adopted the name of Boys & Girls Club of West Central Wisconsin.
Our Reedsburg club opened in 2017 in an old hardware store. By 2018, the local community with city support expanded our capacity and opened our current club in downtown Reedsburg.
Portage (City), our newest club, was opened in May 2023 thanks in large part to a partnership with the Portage Community School District.
