Brief History
Franklin Road Boys & Girls Club was originally initiated as an extension site by Mr. Henry Saxon, Mr. Roderick Smith, and Ms. Sharon Mapp as part of the Latino Outreach Initiative launched by Boys & Girls Club of America. The community had a growing need to develop English classes along with an after school program on Franklin Road, which was recognized by BGCMA, the community and businesses alike. GFI Management donated the space currently used for the Franklin Road Extension Site at the Las Colinas Apartments. In addition, the Franklin Road Club receives support from the Weed & Seed Initiative, which helps strengthen the community through adult and youth programming task forces to deter crime, drugs, and gang violence.Staff
