Why support matters:
Your support helps us give more kids the courage to dream! Without your support, the kids and teens that face life, health, character, and academic issues will continue to lack the resources they need in order to live a better life. BGCGTC strives to enable youth, especially those who need it most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. Join us in the kiddos' journey to success!
To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
Our most critical need is unrestricted financial support to fund our life-changing programs and services that we execute year-round for kids ages 6 to 18. Youth need the support of the Boys & Girls Clubs and our trusted staff to guide them through their development and growth as productive, caring, responsible citizens. Now more than ever, the Club is a beacon of hope for kids and families in need. We know that it can be difficult to decide which organization to make a charitable contribution to, but we hope that you will join us in standing with our kids and families that need our support!
Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County is committed to promoting a safe, positive, inclusive environment for all regardless of ability, identity, belief, age, and cultural background.
