We provide a safe and welcoming environment where children and teens are respected and valued. Through afterschool, summer, prevention and intervention programs that meet the highest standards of quality, kids learn the academic, lifestyle, and citizenship skills they need now and that will result in positive outcomes for the rest of their lives.
From the Board of Directors and Senior Leadership Team to our dedicated branch directors and youth development specialists, we believe that all kids deserve the opportunities it takes to have a bright future.
Our Mission
To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
Our Vision

Ensuring Child Safety is Fundamental to the Mission of BGCGTC
Commitment to Child Safety
Child safety is a cornerstone of the Boys & Girls Clubs’ mission. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County ensures that every member feels a sense of belonging and is protected both emotionally and physically through high-quality programs and services.
Annual Staff and Volunteer Training
All staff and volunteers are required to undergo annual training on comprehensive safety policies. This membership requirement reinforces the Club’s commitment to safeguarding its members and creating a secure environment.
Access to Innovative Safety Training
Club employees benefit from a wide range of cutting-edge safety training programs offered by Boys & Girls Clubs of America and partner organizations. These include seminars, conferences, webinars, and a semi-annual safety symposium.
Collaboration with Leading Safety Experts
The Clubs work closely with renowned third-party safety experts such as Praesidium, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, and the National Children’s Advocacy Center. These partnerships provide crucial guidance in shaping and improving safety policies and practices.
Prominent Safety Resources
Boys & Girls Clubs are required to display essential safety resources, such as the Crisis Text Line, a confidential text messaging service for youth, and the Child Safety Helpline, ensuring that members have easy access to support when needed.
