Boys & Girls Club of Manitowoc County Announces Departure of Executive Director
Manitowoc, Wisconsin (Monday, May 22) - The Boys & Girls Club of Manitowoc County is in search of its next leader.
Jody Kasten, who has served in the role since November 1, 2022, recently announced she is leaving in June for another position.
“My passion for people to support one another for positive change in our communities goes with me as I feel called to another position,” Kasten said.
Kasten has spent the past six months increasing the momentum of community engagement with the Club in Manitowoc. According to Greg Lemke-Rochon, CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Fox Valley, “Jody’s contributions have helped the Manitowoc Club serve kids in meaningful and lasting ways. She will certainly be missed and wish her well as she continues her commitment to serving others in her new role.”
With a strong and dedicated local staff, and support from its parent organization, the Boys & Girls Club of the Fox Valley, the Manitowoc Club will continue to provide a place for youth to belong, supporting them in realizing their full potential as responsible, caring, and productive adults.
The Boys & Girls Club of Manitowoc County, located at 3651 Dewey St., opens its doors daily after school and during summer break as a place for youth ages 6-12 to be encouraged by caring adults. The Club provides meals and activities focused on academics, staying active, and exploring the arts. Being a primarily community-funded organization, financial barriers do not prohibit any youth from belonging to the Club. The organization hopes to expand soon to add programming for 13- to 18-year-olds. Learn more at www.bgcmanitowoccounty.org.
