Wisconsin Dells Youth & Learning Center
Our center serves between 125 - 200 youth throughout the year. Services we currently provide are in school tutoring, after school tutoring, Ho-Chunk language classes, cultural activities, preventions and awareness activities, nutrition and fitness lessons, and recreational outings. In addition to these services, we offer opportunities for our older students to go on tours of various college campuses across the state, provide assistance in preparing for the SAT's and ACT's, and encourage involvement in extracurricular academic events and experiences.Currently, we have a few special groups within the program which are open to all youth. One of these is the "Ho-Chunk Players", a film club, where youth can write scripts, act in short films, or learn to run the camera. And, for our politically motivated youth members, they have the opportunity to participate in our area Youth Council where they learn leadership skills and practice teamwork in a governmental environment.
Along with our numerous activities, we encourage family involvement by holding a "Family Night" each month, where our youth and their parents come to the center for a meal and activity. As well as, promoting involvement in community activities like the Wozhawa Days Parade and area school districts' Native American Awareness Week assemblies.
We always have something going on at the Wisconsin Dells Area Youth and Learning Center, so be sure to check back monthly for events and updates!
