Dan Johnston and Ann Howard recently met with Porter County Community Foundation President and CEO, Bill Higbie, to establish 34 new endowment funds. Money for these new permanent endowments was generated through the sale of the Resale Shop’s building at 801 Broadway to Northshore Health Centers. The shop plans to reopen in a new location in 2022.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Porter County recently received a grant from the Porter County Community Foundation’s Community Fund. The organization has used the funds to partner with the David P. Weikart Center for Youth Program Quality, to assess the current programs offered at all four of the Club locations.
The assessment will focus on measuring and evaluating the quality of the current youth programs as well as identify staff-training needs to better strengthen the club operations and club experience.
The mission of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Porter County is to inspire and enable the youth of our communities to realize their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring citizens. The organization serves youth ages 5 to 18 years throughout all of Porter County.
