The dave & barb skogen boys & girls club opened in september 2020. This unique facility has dedicated space for the boys & girls club, holmen area community center and the school district of holmen. Each program operates separately while also sharing spaces to maximize facility usage. The skogen club serves k-12th grade youth, providing a safe, supportive environment where youth can learn, grow, and thrive .as the holmen area continues to experience rapid population growth, the skogen club is rising to meet the need. Currently the skogen club has grown to be one of our largest locations, serving more than 200 members each day. The club not only benefits the youth who attend but strengthens the entire community.

The amie. L mathy boys & girls club, which opened its doors in 2005, is a unique site because it is located on the campus of viterbo university in la crosse. The mathy club is one of only a few boys & girls clubs in the country to be integrated into a college campus setting. This unique placement has allowed the club to form lasting partnerships with a wide range of viterbo university programs, offering club members educational and mentorship opportunities while also providing viterbo students with experience. Special partnerships with viterbo's education, nursing, and fine arts departments also allow club members to explore college and career readiness in creative and engaging ways. Services are expanded on the southside by also having programming at hamilton elementary school as well as the huber homes low-income housing development.

The west salem boys & girls club was opened in 2007. Previously the club was in a church adjacent to the village park in west salem. This location was wonderful for our members but was unable to adequately serve our increasing membership. In october 2018, the don & cheryl brenengen club opened in collaboration with the west salem school district. Since the new facility located in the west salem middle school opened, we can offer full program opportunities for our members. We are currently serving school aged youth through 12th grade and our daily attendance is approximately 150 kids a day at that location.
