For most adolescents, making poor choices is part of growing up. But for youth in the juvenile justice system, the poverty and dysfunction that led to their mistakes can often create a cycle of crime difficult for any teen to overcome alone. This is why we are here every day - without fail, with respect, accountability and belief in their potential. We help Dallas County youth change doing time into a time to learn and practice critical character lessons and work skills. As a result, they significantly reduce their chances of returning to custody and can build a new identity – as a capable young person with a contribution to make.
Every year, Youth With Faces serves more than 300 youth in the Dallas County Juvenile Department and through post-release services in the community. Our life-changing programs include: Culinary Arts, Therapeutic Horticulture, Dog Training, Career Readiness, and wrap-around post-release services. These programs help 75 percent of Youth With Faces graduates secure a job post release, and save taxpayers $2 million for each youth that is prevented from becoming a lifetime offender.
Please reach out to us if you'd like to volunteer in our career classes or support our programs that are creating second chances for juvenile offenders.
