Halloween prep at the Club looks a little different when you make the decorations yourself! Our kids have been getting creative, drawing pumpkins and spiderwebs to turn into festive Halloween decorations, and making their own little ghosts with plastic tubes and markers.

It’s a chance to get creative, try something new, and put their own spin on Halloween. And of course, there’s something special about being able to point to a decoration and say, “I made that!”

There was no school this past Friday, but the Club was open!

While Waukegan students had the day off for parent-teacher conferences, BGCLC opened its doors all day to give kids a place to go, things to do, and time to spend with friends.

Cookie decorating was part of the fun, with plenty of creativity (and sprinkles!) along the way.

When school is out, the need for a safe, welcoming place doesn’t go away. We’re glad our Club kids had a full day of fun, connection, and time together.

That’s what the Club is here for.

For the first time, Boys & Girls Club of Lake County celebrated Lights On Afterschool with Club families across all 11 of our locations!

Each Club put its own spin on the celebration, but they all had one thing in common: lots of fun and plenty of Club spirit!

At one site, families decorated paper lightbulbs and shared what made the Club such a special place to be after school. They ended the evening by releasing lanterns together, lighting up the night.

At another, Club kids turned up the glow with light-up sunglasses, glow-in-the-dark face paint, and a glow-themed party!

Different celebrations, same reason to celebrate: the people, experiences, and sense of belonging that make our Clubs special.

Thank you to our Club youth, families, and staff for celebrating with us and helping keep the lights on for Lake County kids!

A big thank you to Abbott for inviting Boys & Girls Club of Lake County to your Employee Giving Event!

It was great meeting so many employees who stopped by to learn more about the Club. Even better, several shared their own memories of being Club kids growing up. Those stories are a good reminder that the Club stays with you long after your time here.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to share how BGCLC is making a difference for kids and families across Lake County!

Paper frogs and proud smiles!

Our younger Club kids had fun making their own paper frogs, and once they were finished, they couldn’t wait to show everyone what they made. We love seeing their creativity (and how excited they are to share it)!

At BGCLC, we make room for these moments every day. With more than 1,600 youth registered across our 11 Club sites, there are plenty of opportunities for kids to try something new, build confidence, and discover what they can do.

Yesterday was Indigenous Peoples’ Day, and while schools were closed, our Clubs were open and ready for our kids!

Youth got hands-on learning about how Indigenous communities share stories and traditions across generations. They made Navajo fry bread, created spin drums, tried sand art, and practiced paper weaving. Each activity gave them a chance to learn something new about Indigenous culture through food, music, and art.

It was a hands-on day of learning that brought history and culture into our Clubs in meaningful ways. Because when school is out, learning doesn't have to stop!

Through its commitment of expanding educational opportunities and investing in youth development, the JCCC Foundation helps organizations like ours empower young people to build confidence, develop leadership skills, and discover their potential.

We sincerely appreciate the Foundation's generosity and continued investment in young people and communities throughout Chicagoland.

Thank you, JCCC Foundation, for helping open doors to great futures!

What would you sell if you started your own business?

Our Club youth got to answer that question through our Money Matters: Make It Count program.

They came up with their own business ideas, set prices, worked through expenses and made decisions about how to manage their money.

Money Matters teaches teens the basics of budgeting, saving, investing and setting financial goals. But sometimes the best way to learn is to actually try it.

Today’s business idea could be the start of something bigger!
