The Menomonee Club
Established in 1946, and still growing, The Menomonee Club has been improving urban life on Chicago’s north side for nearly 80 years. What began as a safe haven where kids could come together to learn, play and have fun has grown into a community center, with two buildings located in Old Town and Lincoln Park. The Club’s experienced and caring staff as well as our partner program providers guide a superb mix of recreational and social programs for kids in PreK through High School.
The Menomonee Club is a special place—an oasis for families from varied neighborhoods and schools to come together to learn, laugh, play and build friendships in one of the world’s largest and most diverse cities.
The Club is a not-for-profit organization, operated by and for the community. Its operations and excellent programs are made possible by revenues from Club dues and fees, fundraising efforts and a portion of the Old Town Art Fair proceeds. The Board of the Club is composed of parents and concerned community leaders. The Club offers financial assistance for both membership dues as well as program fees.

Annual Fund
What began as a small Clubhouse in Old Town has grown into a recreation oasis for families across the city. We have expanded, but we remain committed to our original goal – serving the community and its children.
In a typical day at Menomonee, you may see high school students practicing for their school teams, world class fencers preparing for a tournament, young adults with developmental differences rehearsing a play, professionals blowing off steam after work on the courts, dancers learning Bollywood moves, Paralympic Judo players sparring, toddlers learning Broadway tunes, or dads bowling in a neighborhood league. From baby book clubs and piano lessons to a self-proclaimed “old man’s basketball league,” Menomonee is caring for our community – from age one to 100.
Your donation will help us continue to be an inclusive and vibrant community! Donations help us provide financial assistance for families who would otherwise be unable to afford our programming. Last year we gave over $13,000 in financial assistance. With your help, we would like to provide even more.
