Supporting Military Families Every Step of the Way 

Life in a military family comes with many transitions and new adventures. The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Fox Valley (BGCFV) is here to support your child along the way by providing a safe, fun, and welcoming place for military-connected youth to thrive.  

At BGCFV, youth from active military families will find caring mentors, build meaningful friendships, and engage in life-enriching programs designed with their unique journeys in mind. Together, we’re empowering the next generation of military-connected kids to grow, learn, and succeed. 

We’re proud to offer free and/or discounted memberships to active military families.
