The Boys & Girls Club of Franklin/Williamson County, was opened in 1989 as the Boys & Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee initiated its second major expansion since inception in 1903.
The Boys & Girls Club of Franklin/Williamson County began with only two staff members and a membership of 30 kids per day. At that time, the club operated for youth only, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, for four hours per day. The club was located in the old Franklin High School Building at 1116 Columbia Avenue. Not only has youth participation and the staff grown, but thanks to the Williamson County Government in the year 2000 the club moved into the newly constructed Community Services Building at 129 West Fowlkes Street.
In the year 2001, teen services were expanded with the opening of the Franklin Teeys & Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee.
The continued support of Williamson County United Way, local city and county government and the residents of Williamson County have truly developed the Williamson County Club locations. The consistent involvement of the community helps make the club programs available to over 500 Williamson County youth annually.
