One year ago, the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Northland in Hibbing opened their doors to the community. Since their opening, the club has served 170 youth and provided over 500 hours of programming to the community. They even celebrated a record attendance day and they anticipate their numbers will continue to grow.

“I am honored to be a part of something where community members, staff, and the Boys & Girls Club Administration are completely invested in the Club’s success. Although decades of teaching experience are helping me with day-to-day lesson plans, I feel the personal connection with kids and their families is the most important part of my job. I’m very proud to be a member of The Boys & Girls Club of the Northland.”

Cheryl Louis, brand director.

For over 50 years, The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Northland has been working on youth development in Duluth and the surrounding area. In 2022, the Clubs served over 87,000 healthy meals and snacks, provided over 2,500 hours of tutoring, and reached over 4,000 youth through memberships and community outreach.

“Having a safe place for the youth of our community to thrive is amazing and to be a part of this movement for more equitable futures of our club kids is truly extraordinary to be a part of.”

Brittany Lindstron, Development Director.
