The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Green Bay has taken an active approach to meeting the social and emotional needs of its members since 2017. Using a trauma informed lens, led by the Director of Social Emotional Learning (SEL), we have implemented a three tiered approach to advance a culture of understanding and support. This commitment to social emotional learning has helped us to better achieve our mission to engage and meet the unique needs of greater Green Bay area youth so they may achieve academic success, demonstrate good character and citizenship, and live a healthy lifestyle.
