The mission of Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee is to
inspire and empower all young people, especially those who need it
most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring,
responsible citizens. Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee
has helped local kids and teens since 1887 when Annabell Cook
Whitcomb transformed two basement rooms at Plymouth Church on
Milwaukee’s east side into a Club for boys. Today, Boys & Girls
Clubs of Greater Milwaukee is the largest youth-serving agency in
the city and has grown to be one of the largest Boys & Girls
Clubs in the country. Every day, thousands of Milwaukee’s youth
stream through the Clubs' doors and participate in academic and
recreational programming. The Clubs provide safety and support
during critical hours of the day as well as meals, strong role
models, organized athletics, and access to the arts. At the Clubs,
there’s a way for every kid to get involved and learn something
new.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee's vision is to build
the community’s social and economic fabric by ensuring the academic
and career success of every Club member who walks through its doors
or engages with its programs virtually. It achieves this by
providing more impactful programs that appeal to its members,
strengthening their academic performance, building character,
encouraging healthy lifestyles, and meeting the basic needs of
Milwaukee’s youth. The Clubs' talented youth development
professionals work hard to foster the unlimited potential in its
members. Their success is why it does what it does. At the Clubs, a
proven model for success is followed. Research shows that kids and
teens who have an optimal Club experience are more likely to have
positive self-esteem, be engaged in school and learning, and
volunteer in their communities. The Clubs' youth development
professionals provide young people with safe spaces, deeply
impactful programs, and key resources to help them achieve academic
success, make healthy life choices, and reach their full
potential.
Boys & Girls Clubs' mission centers around nurturing the
enormous, equal potential inside every young person. Every kid and
teen deserves access to experiences and opportunities that change
their lives for the better – regardless of their socio-economic
status, color of their skin, or other factors that contribute to
inequity in the U.S. today. Boys & Girls Clubs work to provide
solutions to support racial equity and social justice so that
children, families, and communities can have a better
tomorrow. Clubs are community catalysts, where kids and teens of
all races and backgrounds are encouraged to have difficult
conversations and use their voices to create positive change. Clubs
provide inclusive environments where youth of all races, abilities,
gender expressions, and backgrounds are encouraged to express
themselves and be heard. Because youth are the leaders, innovators,
and problem-solvers that communities – and the world – need
most.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee seeks a Chief
Development Officer with a commitment to the mission of Boys &
