Fort Smith Boys & Girls Club

The goals of a nonprofit such as the Fort Smith Boys & Girls Clubs are simple but meaningful: expand access, expand resources, expand results.

The FSBGC serves approximately 3,000 annually at four locations in Fort Smith. The organization opened a teen center for the 2025-26 school year in partnership with Future School to give students a place to go after school if they aren’t a member of a school team or group.

FSBGC works with youths to provide nutrition, workforce development skills and, generally, a safe place to go if they need it. The organization’s motto is “fun with a purpose.”

The FSBGC continues to focus on community partnerships and fundraising to help it strengthen its academic and social programs. It wants to expand access with later hours of operation or making transportation available for more kids.
