Fortress Literacy Center

  

Fortress Literacy Center (FLC) serves as our after-school program and follows the FWISD traditional calendar. We operate Monday-Thursday, from the time school lets out until 6:30. Special Friday activities take place roughly once a month and are hosted by area churches, private schools, youth groups, etc.

Our goal is not to just fill the building to capacity and increase literacy among the at-risk youth of Near Southeast Fort Worth, but to build relationships with every child who walks through our doors—sharing, laughing and crying alongside them as we introduce them to an abundant life in God through Jesus Christ.  

FLC provides:

  • Transportation from five elementary schools to Fortress each afternoon (Van Zandt Guinn, Morningside, Carroll Peak, IM Terrell, and Nash)
  • After-school snack
  • One-on-one adult mentorship
  • Homework help
  • Tutoring when needed
  • State-of-the-art literacy lab
  • Hands-on math lab
  • Daily devotional featuring singing and a Bible lesson/application
  • Home-cooked dinner
  • Occasional field trips and special events
  • Daily opportunities to earn “Behavior Bucks” to save or spend in the Fortress Rewards Store, featuring small and large prizes
