We have FUN while we GROW

Teens are invited to participate in enrichment clubs, get trained and work through our TEENworks program, and more. Learn more about these opportunities below.

The Goodman Community Center's Lussier LOFT high school program is made possible by a 21st Century Community Learning Center grant, the City of Madison, United Way of Dane County and the generous support of our donors. As a Community Learning Center (CLC), GCC's afterschool programs provide youth with academic and social-emotional enrichment opportunities.

We regularly evaluate the impact of our programs. Annual program reports are made available upon request.
