Clayton Youth Enrichment (Clayton) is beginning the work to celebrate an incredible 50 years of service to our community and is planning a year-long series of initiatives that will serve as a jump start for the agency’s future growth. Goals include raising the visibility of Clayton across Tarrant County, connecting with former Clayton Kids, inviting community members to support Clayton’s critical mission, and honoring the work of those who founded and grew Clayton into the agency it is today. We are thrilled to once again partner with Clayton, providing community relations, fundraising, and event management services, tailor-made for this Clayton milestone. In 2022, we provided similar services for the Back to School Kick-off. We love returning as Clayton’s Partner for Good!
