New leader for Battlefords Boys and Girls Club

The Battlefords Boys and Girls Club is saying goodbye to long-time Executive Director Sheri Woolridge.

Woolridge started with the BBGC in April of 2010 and has served the organization for more than five years. The club has seen many changes during her time at the helm.

The addition of satellite sites, increased programs such as Kids in the Kitchen, soccer and PROUD Youth and increased attendance have been prominent during Woolridge’s time there.

The building of the new clubhouse at 1301 - 104th St. was also achieved during her tenure.

Woolridge is headed to a new community with her family to pursue new opportunities.

Taking the reins from Woolridge is Nicole Combres. Combres comes to the Boys and Girls Club with a social work background and years of experience working in the Battlefords.

Combres says she is excited to work within the community, providing services and facing challenges and hopes the Battlefords will continue to support the Boys and Girls Club as it has in the past. 

“I feel excited and confident about what Nicole can do and where she can lead the club,” Woolridge says.

Woolridge ends her time at the BBGC July 21. Combres begins July 20.
