Most do not receive visits from family due to economic hardships and the distance. The average length of stay for a youth is 17 months. During this time, he receives many services provided by the state. However, volunteers are relied upon for needs that the state will not or cannot provide. A smile, a card, applause at Graduation, religious training, educational assistance, and visit from someone who cares are a few of the contributions volunteers make.
Volunteers play vital and invaluable roles in the rehabilitation of Texas' youth.
Be a member of our non-profit corporation which serves youth with activities and programs that are not funded by the State. The Council meets once a month for a business meeting and lunch. Assist in the Canteen operations and other fundraising events. We welcome groups or individuals to help with the programs. Most departments could use help in their daily operations.
