Resident Life

Set against the rugged beauty of the Texas Hill Country, our annual camping trip gave the boys an opportunity to step out of their comfort zones and make lasting memories.

At Youth-Reach Houston, life-changing moments—from birthday affirmations to first-time experiences—help young men replace painful memories with lasting reminders that they are deeply loved and valued.

Saying goodbye is never easy, but seeing Rony leave Youth-Reach transformed is a reminder that your investment in his life truly mattered.

We’ve been able to give the boys several memorable outings this year thanks to your generosity and their hard-earned efforts.

Over a year ago, we brought you the story of Brody, who entered Youth-Reach from a string of placements since being adopted from China at age three. Here are the latest updates on his progress.

Boys at Youth-Reach work through things like leadership, commitment, identity and healing from past trauma and hurt. While it would be efficient in the short term to simply teach the boys how to do these things, what matters even more is teaching them why it is important to do so.

The holiday season brings both joy and emotional challenges for the boys in our care. Your support helps create a true sense of family at Christmas.

Two of the best words in the English language are Jesus and fun. Our Friday night Family Nights are just that—a time to enjoy fellowship and fun without compromise.

In February, the boys had the opportunity to join Kingdom Racing at MSR, a high-end carting experience in Brazoria County for a day of go-cart racing, swag and food.
