We’re committed to making the Club accessible to every family. Rising costs and shifting funding have made a modest fee necessary. GREAT FUTURES START HERE!

With your generous support, we aim to make membership free for every child who walks through our doors. Boys & Girls Clubs of La Porte County provides free afterschool and summer programming for kids in Michigan City, La Porte, Westville and Kingsford Heights.

One chapter ends, and another begins at the Boys & Girls Clubs of La Porte County!

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Michelle Shirk for her 6½ years of transformational leadership as CEO. During her tenure, our organization grew from three Clubs in Michigan City to eight Clubs serving four La Porte County school districts. Michelle’s contributions have left a lasting mark on our organization and the community we serve. We thank her for her service and wish her every success as she begins her next chapter.

Please join us in welcoming our new CEO, Shannon Walker!

A longtime La Porte County resident, Shannon brings more than 15 years of experience in nonprofit leadership, fundraising, philanthropy and strategic communications, with a passion for creating meaningful, lasting community impact.

Most recently, she served as an independent consultant leading grant strategy and development for nonprofit clients. As Vice President of the Unity Foundation of La Porte County, she oversaw grants, scholarships, local initiatives and major funding partnerships. Before that, as Executive Director for Association Advancement at the La Porte County Family YMCA, she led grant development and fundraising.

We’re thrilled to welcome Shannon to the Boys & Girls Club movement as she leads our organization into its next chapter!

Thank you to our friends at Kiwanis Club of La Porte for including our organization in their "Parade of Checks!" Their support over the past few years has been invaluable in introducing new Social Emotional Learning programs and keeping our Clubs accessible to all.

Our regular meeting today was anything but regular! Our 2nd “Parade of Checks” during 2026 allowed us to give away thousands to 8 worthy causes in addition to highlighting some prior support we provided over the summer. Altogether this represented over $22,000! Want to make a difference with us?https://ritacms.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/new-member-application-fillable-Kiwanis-Club-of-La-Porte%20(1).pdf
