GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Two Northeast Wisconsin Boys & Girls Clubs are joining together to become one of the region’s largest youth development agencies.
The Boys & Girls Club of Door County and the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Green Bay, which includes the Boys & Girls Club of Shawano, are uniting as one organization.
The merger will make both organizations stronger to support more than 3,000 youth and families annually.
“While we believe strongly in the power of coming together, great care is being taken to ensure that both clubs remain connected to their respective communities,” said Erich Pfiefer, Board Chair for the Boys & Girls Club of Door County. “These are organizations with long standing histories that serve unique communities, and it is vital that this remains at the forefront of our work. Through this process, we have discovered that our organizational cultures and missions are far more common than they are different. We are committed to providing the same high-quality service that has been the hallmark of both organizations for decades.”
Each club will retain their name and branding in their local community and will remain open and continue to serve members. There will also be no disruption of staff or management personnel.
The effective merger date is March 1, 2023.
