History

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas began operations in November 1965 as the Boys Club of Dallas. In 1990, the organization added “Girls” to its title and an aggressive effort to serve both girls and boys was initiated.

Today, thousands of boys and girls from low-income neighborhoods benefit from the building centered programs and services designed specifically for them at eleven local Clubs.

The programs offered provide strong moral guidance, positive role models and life-changing educational programs designed to save kids from lives of crime and failure. Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas is an organization that stands for traditional values, while providing progressive programs that address the problems faced by the youth of today, including substance abuse, teen pregnancy, gangs and violence.
