CEO, Boys and Girls Club of La Porte County

Every kid deserves a place. A place to feel safe. A place to feel connected. A place to belong. Boys & Girls Clubs of La Porte County provides these types of places – where kids can go after school and during the summer to learn and grow beyond the classroom.

Each year, nearly 500 young people enjoy enriching after school and summer activities at their three Club sites. Thanks to the community’s support, their membership fee is just $10 per child for the entire school year. However, yjey never turn anyone away due to an inability to pay.
