Our Mission:
FTOH is a not for profit ministry that works with young men from ages 8-18 in Williamson County.  Franktown Open Hearts provides a safe place for these young men to be mentored, tutored, and encourages them to make better choices that will help them grow up to be responsible contributors to society ALL in the name of Jesus.  Most of these young men face conditions and challenges that most people in Williamson County do not even know exist.  The irony is, most of this occurs less than 1 mile from the beautiful, historic downtown Franklin.

Thursday Nights:
Thursday nights are a hallmark for Franktown Open Hearts.  It is here each week that 50-100 young men come together for fellowship, food from Uncle Pat’s kitchen, fun activities, and most importantly, prayer and a Christian life lesson.  This loving attention for a lot of these young men is the only positive message they will hear for the week.

Tutoring:
Throughout the school year, Franktown Open Hearts provides assistance with homework and test preparation.

Christmas:
Each Christmas over 100 participants receive shopping money through donations to buy Christmas gifts.  After a great Christmas feast, each young man is paired with a mentoring volunteer family that provides guidance and transportation on this great night of giving.  They are required to use most of the money to buy gifts for family members and most of them will spend it all on others.

Church on Sunday and Wednesday:
The young men are also encouraged to attend a church regularly.  Volunteers from several churches in Franklin are committed to help provide transportation and accountability to attendance on Sunday morning and some Wednesday nights.
