A $13.2 Million Transformational Investment in the Next Generation
Foglia Woodlands Impact Center is officially open, marking an exciting new chapter for young people across the Northwest Suburbs. As the largest Boys & Girls Clubs teen center in America, this one-of-a-kind facility was built to give teens a safe, inspiring place to learn, create, connect, and prepare for their futures.
Made possible through a $13.2 million investment in our youth and community, the center brings together innovative spaces for technology, STEAM, culinary arts, esports, music and the arts, athletics, career exploration, and more.
We are incredibly grateful to the donors, supporters, community partners, school districts, Board members, and staff who helped bring this vision to life.
Now, the doors are open, and the impact is just beginning.
