Welcome to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County's North Fort Worth branch! Our branch is the original Fort Worth Boys Club, started in 1935 to help kids in the north side of Fort Worth. We first opened in a church and then moved to Ellis Avenue, where we are today. Our building has grown and even has a fun fish mural where a pool used to be!
We offer summer and afterschool programs for kids and teens ages 6-18. Our Music & Youth Clubhouse is perfect for pre-teens and teens who love music and performing. No child is turned away because of cost. We provide transportation from local schools like Manuel Jara, JP Elder, and Northside High.
