Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County celebrates Youth Leadership at 2026 Youth of the Year Gala

Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County (BGCGTC) welcomed community leaders, supporters and partners to the 2026 Youth of the Year Gala presented by BNSF Railway at Omni Fort Worth on Feb. 20. The event honored Ja’Miyah as the organization’s 2026 Youth of the Year for the second year in a row, recognized the Rotary Club of Fort Worth as the recipient of the Dr. Robert & Sara Brown Humanitarian Award, and unveiled BGCGTC’s 100th anniversary logo.

“No matter what background you have or what you’re going through, you are loved and supported when you walk through those doors,” said Ja’Miyah, BGCGTC’s 2026 Youth of the Year. “I hope my story shows other kids that they, too, can accomplish great things if they believe in themselves.”

The evening, hosted by 2020 Youth of the Year Torion Lewis, spotlighted the leadership, resilience and character of BGCGTC’s Youth of the Year finalists while honoring a legacy that stretches back to 1926, when the Panther Boys Club first opened its doors in Fort Worth.

That history was brought to life during the centennial logo reveal — a defining moment in the program that connected past and present. As the organization reflected on 100 years of service, it honored the community champions who shaped the early movement, including the women who organized and sustained the Club in its formative years and the civic leaders who believed young people deserved a safe place to grow.

The impact of that belief became especially clear during times of national hardship. During World War II, young men who once walked through Club doors wrote letters back to branch directors while enemy planes droned overhead, thanking them for the mentorship, structure and encouragement they received as Club kids. Preserved in BGCGTC’s archives, those letters tell the story of youth who carried lessons of leadership, discipline and character from Fort Worth into military service around the world.

“Through decades of change — from wartime uncertainty to expansion across North Texas and the inclusion of girls as the mission evolved — one truth has remained constant: the Club has always been a steady, dependable home for young people,” said Daphne Barlow, CEO and President of Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County. “For a century, Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County has been a place where kids find belonging, opportunity and adults who believe in their potential.”

The Dr. Robert & Sara Brown Humanitarian Award, first presented in 1998, honors individuals and organizations whose service and leadership have made a lasting impact on Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County and the youth it serves. This year’s award was presented to the Rotary Club of Fort Worth, recognizing the organization’s foundational role in the history of Boys & Girls Clubs in the Fort Worth community. Ann Sheets, President of the Rotary Club of Fort Worth, accepted the award on behalf of the organization.

Youth of the Year is one of the most prestigious programs in the Boys & Girls Clubs Movement, recognizing teens who demonstrate academic success, leadership, service and strong character. Finalists complete months of mentorship, interviews, community service and public speaking development as part of the program. As the 2026 Youth of the Year, Ja’Miyah will advance to represent BGCGTC at the state level, serving as a youth ambassador for Club kids across Texas.

“Tonight, we celebrate young people who lead with courage and purpose, and we celebrate a community that has chosen, for 100 years, to show up for kids,” said Barlow. “Our centennial year reflects on every young person who has walked through our doors, every mentor who has believed in them and every partner who has helped turn potential into possibility.”

Proceeds from the gala support BGCGTC’s mission to enable all young people, especially those who need the Club most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.

Camp Fire Associate Vice President elected to National Early Childhood Education Governing Board

Camp Fire First Texas announced that Yolanda Willis, associate vice president of early education workforce development, has been elected to serve on the Student Governing Board of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), one of the nation’s leading organizations dedicated to advancing high-quality early learning.

Willis was selected as a Student Governing Board Member-Elect in recognition of her leadership in early childhood workforce development and her commitment to building equitable, high-quality pathways into the profession. In this national role, she will help inform NAEYC’s strategic direction, ensuring educator voices and workforce realities are reflected in policy, preparation, and leadership efforts.

“Yolanda’s election to the NAEYC Student Governing Board is a testament to her vision, expertise, and the national impact of the work happening at Camp Fire First Texas,” said Brian Miller, president and CEO of Camp Fire First Texas. “Her leadership has strengthened early education pathways across Texas, and we are proud to see her voice elevated on a national stage.”

As associate vice president, Willis leads Texas’ first and largest early education registered apprenticeship program, which provides structured, job-embedded pathways for early educators to earn credentials while working full time. The program includes pre-apprenticeship opportunities for high school students, allowing participants to earn a Child Development Associate credential before graduation through dual-credit coursework, hands-on practicum experiences, and professional mentoring.

“These pathways are about more than credentials,” Willis said. “They are about access, identity, and long-term opportunity. When we invest in educators—especially those from underrepresented communities—we strengthen not only the workforce, but the children, families, and communities they serve.”

Under Willis’ leadership, Camp Fire’s apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship models have emphasized equitable access, stackable credentials, wage progression, and retention-focused supports. She has built cross-sector partnerships with K–12 school districts, higher education institutions, workforce boards, child care providers, and policy leaders to align systems and expand sustainable workforce infrastructure.

Willis is currently pursuing a Doctor of Education in organizational leadership at Abilene Christian University, where her doctoral research focuses on the impact of structured workforce development models on early educator retention. She brings expertise in program design, evaluation, strategic communication, and workforce policy, and is a frequent presenter and panelist at state and national early childhood convenings.

In her role with NAEYC, Willis will represent student members and bring a systems-level perspective rooted in lived experience, research, and practice. She will advocate for practical, equitable solutions that support educators at every stage of their journey—from high school students entering the field to experienced professionals advancing into leadership.

Founded in 1914, Camp Fire First Texas was the first Camp Fire council established in the state. The organization serves children, youth, families, and educators across North Texas through youth development, outdoor learning, and early education workforce development programs.

The Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute announces new leadership and executive board of the Caruth Police Institute

Communities Foundation of Texas awarded a grant to the Meadows Institute to operate the Caruth Police Institute to continue to advance public safety innovation in North Texas and across the country

The Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute announced today that it would begin operating the Caruth Police Institute (CPI) and named a new director and members of the executive board.

Scott Donaldson, vice president of CPI, will serve as its director, and Tarrick McGuire, the chief of the Alexandria, Virginia, police department, will serve as the president of the executive board. CPI’s executive board features experts from across the country who are committed to ensuring that CPI remains a leader in modern police training and developing positive relationships between police departments and the community.

Communities Foundation of Texas awarded a grant to allow the Meadows Institute to operate CPI, which will continue to serve Dallas and North Texas while expanding its impact across Texas and the rest of the country.

CPI is the nation’s premier resource for advancing public safety leadership, innovation, and officer wellness and provides consulting, technical assistance, and training to departments and municipal governments across Texas and the nation. It was founded in 2008 and had been previously run by the University of North Texas at Dallas.

“The Caruth Police Institute is grateful to Communities Foundation of Texas for its transformative gift to allow the Meadows Institute to operate CPI,” said Donaldson. “I am honored to lead CPI and ensure that our partnership with police departments and municipal governments promotes public safety and builds strong connections between officers and the communities they serve.”

CPI is a leading voice for advancing public safety innovation and excellence. It provides technical assistance that supports agencies with data analysis, policy development, and operational implementation to strengthen community safety and officer wellness. It also offers a wide range of ongoing training and education programs for officers, civilian leadership, and public safety executive leaders. These programs address crucial needs in the law enforcement community, such as mental health response and crime-reduction strategies.

“Communities Foundation of Texas is committed to investing in public safety as we seek to build a thriving community for all,” said Wayne White, the president and CEO of Communities Foundation of Texas. “The Caruth Police Institute has long served as a leading voice here in North Texas and across the state and nation for innovative efforts that support both officers and residents. A safer community is a stronger community, and increasing safety includes investing in training, education, and implementing best practices. This investment allows the Meadows Institute to further public safety innovation forward in a bold way.”

The Meadows Institute’s operation of CPI signals a growing prioritization of strengthening the mental health and wellness of officers and improving the relationships between police departments and the communities they serve.

“I’ve had the privilege of serving as an instructor with the Caruth Police Institute, and I’ve seen firsthand the impact CPI has when we invest early in developing thoughtful, ethical leaders long before they ever step into command staff roles,” said Chief McGuire. “Policing today demands more from our people at every level, and that preparation cannot wait until someone earns rank. I’m excited and honored to serve as president of the CPI executive board and to help advance CPI’s mission of shaping the next generation of public safety leaders across the country.”

Grant Halliburton Foundation Celebrates 20 years

Anniversary events underscore the Foundation’s mission and impact across North Texas

Grant Halliburton Foundation is marking its 20th anniversary in 2026, commemorating two decades of work focused on youth mental health and suicide prevention education for North Texas communities. Founded in 2006, the Foundation has reached more than 375,000 students, educators, parents, and professionals with its mental health education, resources, and support programs.

Throughout the year, the Foundation will recognize this milestone by highlighting its history, amplifying its mission and impact, and presenting its signature annual events through a 20th anniversary lens.

“Out of the grief of losing my brother, Grant, to suicide, my parents, Vanita and Alan, and I co-founded Grant Halliburton Foundation in 2006, fueled by the desire to help save others from such devastating loss,” said Amy McCloskey, Foundation co-founder. “What began as a way to honor Grant’s memory has grown into an organization dedicated to helping young people and families navigate mental health challenges and prevent suicide.”

The Foundation’s earliest efforts were rooted in art and creativity. From the time Grant Halliburton could grasp a pencil, he expressed himself through his art. In 2006, Grant Halliburton’s artwork was featured in an exhibition titled Journey, and the Foundation awarded its first art scholarship to a graduating student from Plano West Senior High School, where Grant attended high school. That inaugural event laid the foundation for a mission that has grown to bring lifesaving help and hope to young people and families today.

In recognition of that history, the Foundation will host a 20th Anniversary Art Show in September during National Suicide Prevention Month, reimagining its first event with community programming, educational activations, and opportunities for reflection and connection, centered around an exhibition of Grant’s artwork. Additional details will be announced later this year.

“Grant was an artist in the truest sense of the word, and he was extremely talented in art and music. His vibrant, creative spirit—and his deep love for people—continue to inspire the work we do today,” McCloskey said.

Other anniversary-focused programming in 2026 includes a Galleria Dallas Gallery Wall installation in May during Mental Health Awareness Month, as well as the Foundation’s annual fundraising events, including Beacon of Hope featuring Steve Burns (March 13), Eric Nadel Birthday Benefit (May 14), and The Hope Party (Nov. 20).

“Our 20th anniversary is both a celebration and a call to action,” Kevin Hall, Grant Halliburton Foundation president, said. “As we celebrate throughout the year, these events represent more than milestones on a calendar—they reflect the community of supporters, volunteers, and partners, who make our work possible.”

Suicide remains a critical public health concern. National data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show suicide is the second-leading cause of death for people ages 10 to 24 in the United States. In Texas, on average, we lose a teen to suicide every day, and two per week in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, underscoring the ongoing need for prevention, education and early intervention.

“We’ve made meaningful progress in changing the conversation around youth mental health, and we know our work is making a difference,” Hall said. “When young people are supported early, and communities are equipped with the right resources, lives can be changed. That belief, and the hope it brings, will continue to guide our work for the next 20 years and beyond.”

Equest awarded $1.1 Million grant from The Crystal Charity Ball

Funding will support equine-assisted programs for children and enhance facilities.

Equest announced that it has been awarded $1,102,446 in grant funding from The Crystal Charity Ball to support and expand its equine-facilitated programs serving children over the next two years. Equest was one of eight Dallas County nonprofits selected to receive funding this year.

The funding will provide essential program and operating support while enabling Equest to enhance its therapy horse resources and infrastructure. Planned investments include the purchase of five additional therapy horses, including two miniature horses, a customized conversion van designed to transport up to four miniature horses, and the construction of a dedicated miniature horse barn to support the organization’s growing Mini Ambassador program.

The Equest Mini Ambassador program was developed to help individuals experience and learn about the unique healing bond between humans and horses. In addition to providing therapeutic horsemanship at Equest, the specially trained miniature therapy horses, each around three feet tall, visit libraries, schools, community events, and local VA hospitals, extending the human-horse connection to even more individuals, including veterans. Most recently, the Mini Ambassadors have played a leading role in Equest’s Literacy Program designed to help first-grade students in Dallas schools build confidence and improve reading skills.

“This extraordinary funding expands what’s possible for the children we serve—more access, more resources, and more opportunities for growth,” said Eric Lindh, CEO of Equest. “We are grateful for this support and excited to reach more families and deepen the impact of the programs we offer.”

Since 1952, Crystal Charity has distributed more than $198 million to the children of Dallas County. Each year funds raised benefit children through programs and services provided by our Beneficiaries.

From the Top finds new home with KERA

America’s largest national platform celebrating young classically trained musicians is being acquired by the North Texas public media station.

KERA, North Texas’ public media station, and From the Top, the nonprofit and radio broadcast program dedicated to celebrating young classical musicians, are thrilled to announce that From the Top will become part of KERA in 2026.

“It’s a real honor that From the Top is joining KERA as part of our ongoing growth and innovation strategy,” says Nico Leone, President & CEO of KERA. “Our missions are so aligned — we, too, are committed to supporting and celebrating young classical musicians here in North Texas and beyond through our many services. More than anything, we want From the Top listeners, alumni and fans to know that we are committed to sustaining and expanding this shared mission, and you can expect the same incredible content From the Top has produced for years.”

“For decades, From the Top has amplified young musicians across the country through its roots in Boston, MA,” says Gretchen Nielsen, Executive Director of From the Top. “We’re very proud of our legacy, and now — as we look to the future — we are excited to bring our mission to a homebase in North Texas with its incredible arts community.”

From the Top recently celebrated 25 years of mission-driven programming. The radio program, carried on nearly 200 stations nationwide, has evolved into an acclaimed platform for today’s young classical musicians. In addition to the radio broadcast, each year From the Top helps launch the careers of young musicians through its fellowship programs, educational programs and awards. In 2024, From the Top began searching for a new foundational home and approached KERA with the opportunity.

“We see a value in being rooted in a thriving local community with the support of a sustainable and respected public media station,” says Nielsen. “We sought out KERA given their legacy in the public media community and the trust they have from North
Texas. We see so much opportunity ahead and we’re very excited to be moving forward with them as partners and peers.”

For KERA, From the Top is a perfect alignment with its commitment to supporting the arts and classical music. In 2023, KERA welcomed classical music station WRR 101.1 FM to its portfolio of services, joining a robust suite of arts services including KXT 91.7 FM, arts reporting from KERA Arts and arts programming on KERA TV. KERA is also the home of “Think” with Krys Boyd, a nationally syndicated radio program and podcast.

“KERA has been a champion of the arts since its earliest days,” says Leone. “It is such a natural fit to welcome From the Top and help foster and support the next generation of young musicians.”

From the Top will officially join KERA in May of 2026 and continue to be distributed by NPR. While the national nonprofit will be based in North Texas, From the Top’s many programming offerings — radio broadcast, digital offerings, fellowship program — will continue to connect with and celebrate young musicians across the country. Additionally, From the Top will help expand KERA’s work in education and collaborations with local arts organizations.

KERA’s acquisition of From the Top also comes at an exciting time in the public media station’s history. In March, KERA will break ground on a community-centric headquarters, located on the Katy Trail. The new facilities for the 65-year-old organization will provide performance space, recording studios and more — not just for KERA and From the Top team members, but the North Texas community at large. KERA is also planning to launch a local daily news program on KERA News in the spring.

From the Top can be heard Saturdays at 12 p.m. on WRR 101.1 FM. For more information about From the Top, visit www.fromthetop.org. For more information about KERA, visit www.kera.org. For media inquiries, reach out to media@kera.org.

The new store will occupy 19,677 square feet at 989 N. Walnut Creek Drive, Suite 151, making it the largest Goodwill North Central Texas retail location. The expanded footprint reflects the organization’s growing donor base in the Mansfield area and an opportunity to increase community impact.
