Our History
From our humble beginnings as the Boys’ Busy Life Club in 1887 to the thriving community we are today, we’ve always had one mission: to create great futures for young people. Along the way, we’ve grown, evolved, and opened our doors wider—welcoming girls in 1984 and building an inclusive space where boys and girls are equally represented.
Our alumni are living proof that our programs change lives—each one a story of resilience, growth, and success.
Our Community
We’re here for Milwaukee’s youth—toddlers to young adults, ages 3 to 24—providing safe spaces, mentorship, and opportunities. Over 80% of our members come from families receiving free or reduced lunch, but together, we’re building brighter futures.
