CHRIST-CENTERED
VOLUNTARY PROGRAM
Youth-Reach Houston is a long-term, residential program for boys ages 12-17 who want help. Our program is completely voluntary and is facilitated by screened, experienced staff. Set in a structure of a balanced family and home life, residents are provided with a Christian foundation and support to help develop their character, sense of responsibility and a strong work ethic.
Once accepted into our program, it typically takes 3-4 weeks to process all of the required state and local paperwork needed to begin the program. Families are never charged for the 24/7 services offered.

by Our Founder
I was one of the original boys in the very first Youth-Reach Houston house … YRH created an environment of structure for a bunch of kids mixed up in the wrong stuff and it gave us next steps. I’ve been blessed to invest in this ministry that invested in me so many years ago.
Not only did Youth-Reach pull me out of everything that had been dragging me down and clinging to my soul, but they developed a work ethic in me, taught me the discipline of spending time in prayer and in the Word, prepared me for ministry, and sent me out into it.
The strong foundation that Youth-Reach gave me has changed everything in my life. It led me to Cambodia where we’ve built houses, given away tons and tons of rice and drilled over 1,000 water wells. None of that would have been possible without Youth-Reach.
