S5:E5 Jordan Thew & Joshua McQuillan on the Power of Purpose in Youth Programs
Episode 31
Thursday, 28 August, 2025
In this season finale, Nick and Calvin sit down with Jordan Thew and Josh McQuillan from the Boys & Girls Club of Fox Valley to explore how out-of-school-time (OST) programs are transforming student outcomes across Wisconsin. Jordan and Josh share their personal journeys into youth work, how leading with purpose brought them to the Boys & Girls Club, and what keeps them dedicated. They discuss how OST programs fill important gaps left by the school day—offering everything from educational support to enrichment activities, sports, and exposure to the arts—and how expanding that impact without losing community trust requires meaningful relationships and leadership rooted in care. Along the way, they highlight the real-world challenges OST providers face, from funding to transportation, and why personal relationships remain at the heart of educational success.
