Impact You Can See Across Dane County
What Support Looks Like
“Another big supporter in my journey has been the Boys and Girls Club. From interpersonal development to educational resources, the Club has allowed me to be a stronger me.
The AVID/TOPS program taught me what the FAFSA was, how to apply for college, and most importantly, that it’s OK to ask questions.”
