OSHKOSH – The Boys & Girls Club of Oshkosh recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the completion of phase 1 of its building project – which includes the Radford Center expansion of the Bergstrom Automotive Learning Center classrooms (which was completed in February) and full renovation of J. Wilcox Head Start.
This is part of the club’s $18 million building expansion.
CEO Tracy Ogden said the classrooms allow the club to double the number of elementary-age members it can serve to 80 youth daily.
In this part of the club, kids create arts and crafts, do STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) activities and participate in social and emotional learning and other structured programs.
“It was exciting to celebrate the completion of the Bergstrom Automotive Learning Center as the first piece of our building project and to get to add more children to our program and off our waitlist,” Ogden said. “In addition, we were overjoyed to celebrate the Boys & Girls Club of Oshkosh and Head Start partnership.”
Head Start completed a renovation of all three floors of the building it leases from the club, increasing classroom space from four to six rooms (housing 120 kids) the club will use during non-school hours.
The entrance was moved to Monroe Street, which provides safer drop off, and parking was added.
The center also added a playground.
