Be someone to a kid who has no one

There are many ways to get involved to support our youth. Sign up to volunteer today!

 

If you are interested in any of our volunteer opportunities, please complete a brief survey here.

Become a Mentor
Our greatest need is for volunteer mentors. Our staff of trained professionals provides comprehensive and sustained training, resources, matching and ongoing support to hundreds of faithful, caring adults who serve in a variety of roles, including mentors. A reVision mentor builds a caring, consistent, relational connection with a youth while he/she is detained, on probation, or involved in our school-based program. Our mentors help youth transition successfully from system involvement, providing encouragement, support, and positive role-modeling. The first step is a willingness to be a someone to a kid who has no one. Current volunteers can download a copy of the Mentor Handbook here.

Join the First Friday Outreach Team
We work with every youth (age 14-17) in the state of Texas who has been certified to stand trial as an adult or is currently serving an adult prison sentence in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ). Youth serving adult sentences are incarcerated at the Ellis Unit in Huntsville. We match youth with mentors, write them letters and send them birthday cards. Once a month we travel to Huntsville (transportation provided) for our First Friday Program to bring them pizza and hope through art, music and dance projects. For more information on how to participate, email terri@houstonrevision.org.
