Our nonprofit organization is dedicated to criminal justice reform, and we are committed to helping children and youth who are at risk of entering the juvenile justice system. The Texas Juvenile Justice Department saw over 53,000 referrals in 2017, with law enforcement being the primary source of referrals. Although there was a small decrease in the number of referrals from 2016, there is still a significant need for positive youth development programs to help prevent youth from entering the criminal justice system.                                                       

The large number of children and youth affected by parental incarceration is staggering, and we are committed to supporting these individuals and their families. We also recognize the need to provide support for exonerees who often face significant challenges in securing housing, employment, and mental health treatment after their release from prison. With your help, we can work towards creating a more just and equitable criminal justice system that supports both those impacted by the system and those at risk of being impacted by it.
