About Community Frontline Of Fort Worth
Community Frontline of Fort Worth puts neighborhood investment into practice across East Fort Worth. Men and neighbors show up through mentoring, scholarships, business support, community forums, police-community dialogue, and hands-on projects such as cleanups, murals, gardens, and yard care. A donation helps support young people, local entrepreneurs, families, and residents working toward stronger, more connected communities.
Community Frontline was created by men with personal ties to Stop Six who returned to invest in the neighborhood that shaped them. Its work connects racial justice and police-community advocacy with practical support, from scholarships and entrepreneurship training to business assistance and neighborhood beautification.
