Varyl Prescott - Kewaskum Morning Site Manager

Varyl Prescott joined the Club in 2021. For 10 years prior to this, she worked at a local TV station as an Emmy-nominated Producer and Administrator. Varyl obtained justice for nearly 3,000 families and collected over 1M dollars for our communities. Being a liaison for the families helped prepare her for her role here. She was an advocate for the families then, and she is an advocate for the families now.


Her children were once members of the Boys & Girls Club. Now successful adults, they often share the significance of the club and how it impacted their lives. For Varyl, the club provided a safe and comforting place for her children, giving her the ability to pursue her career and provide her family. Having this opportunity has allowed Varyl to experience the full circle of the Club's mission – “Making a Positive Impact in the World”.


Currently, Varyl and her husband reside in a Farmhouse with chickens and our dog Molly. In her leisure, she enjoys spending time with family, gardening, crocheting, cooking, music, and nature.
