Home Resources Blog Spotlight on Boys and Girls Club of Lake County

TeamBonding recently hosted a Charity Bike Build event for a large company in Chicago – and it was a huge success! There’s nothing like seeing a child’s face light up when he or she is presented with a brand new bike.
The Boys and Girls Club of Lake County in Illinois is a place where children between the ages of 6 and 18 can feel safe and have fun at the same time. Since 1999, BGCLC has offered service to hundreds of children and provided great resources for the youth of Chicago. With the belief that every child has the potential to grow and become something great, BGCLC has kept up with their mission to provide youth with “the tools they need to remove themselves from the cycle of poverty.” They explain that club members “aren’t receiving a handout, but a hand up.”

We’re honored that BGCLC and TeamBonding were able to work together to donate brand new bikes that were built with love by a large group of employees at a Chicago company to the kids at the club. We hope to work with Boys and Girls Club of Lake County many more times in the future!

I’ve seen a simple scavenger hunt spark friendships that lasted for years, and a charity bike build bring out leadership skills in people who didn’t even realize they had them.

How to Build a Psychologically Safe Workplace

I’ve been in countless meeting rooms where you could feel the tension. You know the kind—where everyone stares down at their notepads instead of speaking up, where great ideas die before they even hit the air. That’s the absence of psychological safety at work.

Managing Gen Z in the Workplace: A Guide From Someone Who Gets It

Let’s talk about Gen Z in the workplace. I’m part of this generation, and I’ve watched my peers enter the workforce over the past few years. Honestly? There’s often a disconnect between what employers think Gen Z workers want and what we actually value.

4 Rules All Cohesive Teams Follow

We’ve all experienced the highs and lows of teamwork. A disconnected group can drain your energy and stall progress, but a team that clicks can accomplish more than anyone thought possible. When people communicate well, support each other, and chase the same goal, they create something powerful. That’s the essence of team cohesion—and it’s the difference between frustration and success.
