WHAT WE DO

Reconnecting the disconnected

Young people, especially young men of color, are disappearing — from schools, from communities and from the workforce.

By providing disconnected youth who have been pushed out of our school system with an opportunity to complete their education and obtain meaningful employment, we will drastically reduce the recidivism rates of justice involved youth in the city of Houston.
