Boys and Girls Clubs of North Central Texas Club Members
Our Purpose
Prevention and Support through homework assistance, tutoring, mentoring, job and life skills. Kids come for FUN we offer FUNdamentals.
WHO DO WE SERVE?
Our organization currently serves the North Central Texas area and our full-service Club is located in the City of Lake Dallas with new locations planned in other areas of the county. The organization is looking forward to growing into other communities so services can be expanded and offered to more children in need.
At a Club, kids develop a sense of ownership as they are allowed to make choices about their Club and their environment within a defined set of parameters. They become family. Clubs offer a diverse selection of activities and programs which ensure that every member can find something at which they are good. They learn they do not have to be the best, but rather the best they can be. Our members are of diverse socio-economical backgrounds, as well as ethnicity and age (age 6—17).
