Transportation

The Fort Smith Boys & Girls Club provides limited transportation to Club members after school. Because the Fort Smith public schools do not offer bus transportation for elementary students (except for special cases) many children cannot access the Club after-school. Through the program, the FSBGC van picks up students at their school and transports them to the Boys & Girls Club. In 2008, the Club started a pilot program at Cavanaugh Elementary school, transporting 28 kids per day to the Evans unit. The shuttle program has expanded to 23 schools and four vans.

  • Availability is first come first serve. Limit 14 per school.

  • There is a $35 fee per semester.

  • All participants must have a current Fort Smith Boys & Girls Club membership card ($30) and must be enrolled in the After School Program ($35).

  • Please note some Clubs have a waiting list. The Boys & Girls Club plans to add more schools to the list once additional transportation vans become available.

  • Parents are responsible for picking up their child from the club before closing time.
