Whatever It Takes to Build Great Futures
Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County is the largest Boys & Girls Club in the state of Texas, providing a range of high-impact special programs and services. We provide services to over 28,000 youth a year, with ages ranging from six to 24. In 2020, we remained a pillar of consistency in the lives of the youth that we serve. We’ve successfully met the major needs of the community by providing critical resources and support to families across Tarrant County. We will continue to do whatever it takes to build great futures for our kids.
"I'm so thankful for the Club. Club staff always go the extra mile to help out families. They have made us feel like her extended family and are always looking out for us."

"Our SMART Girls program gives our young female members the
opportunity to learn about health and wellness as a female. We
partner with Women Inspiring Philanthropy to aid these girls in
their learning process, as well as provide opportunities to grow."

“Boys & Girls Club gives me healthy snacks everyday. They also help by giving me activities like doing art projects. Being here has helped me get out of the house and become braver.”

"As young people, it is important for our members to learn skills that will help them in their future. Things like money management and time management are skills that are hard to learn on your own. Here at the Boys and Girls Club, we understand that these skills will stay with them for the rest of their lives."

“The Boys & Girls Club impacted my life by giving me somewhere to enjoy learning and not get bored. I was also able to gain more friends here.”

"Our members love to host canned food drives to give to families in need at Mission Arlington. Programs such as Torch Club allows members to show how they can lead their peers in areas of creating opportunities for themselves and others within the Club."

"Here at the Boys & Girls Club, education is highly valued. For our young members we focus on “Power Hour.” This is time dedicated to members’ school work where we can help them complete their homework and help guide them on the path to success!"

"We understand the importance of being a role model for the members at the Club. The kids are our future leaders and we must pour into them while we have them in our buildings."
