First day fits did not disappoint! As the kids started a new school year last week, their Friends and caregivers joined them for a little encouragement. That support will be there no matter what the year brings. 🚸 ✨

Lily and Coco's Friend Zeyanna took them shopping for school supplies, where the girls happily picked out everything on their lists!

A big thank you to Steve and Tomball ISD for making it happen, and for very nearly sending Lily home with the whole store. It takes a community to set our kids up for success, and partners like these are a big part of how we do it. Here's to a strong start to the year. πŸ’ͺπŸŽ’

A little back-to-school prep made a lot more fun. Mentor Sam took Shaun and his brother to pick up school supplies and clothes ahead of the new year, thanks to our partners at Buckner International, who share our commitment to supporting kids and families. Between the painting, the dancing, and the shopping, the boys got what they needed and had a great time doing it.

Ready for a strong start! Mentor Neftali and his youth checked out the Aldine ISD Back to School Expo, where they picked up school supplies and plenty of extra goodies to kick off the year right. Making sure our kids head back to class with what they need is what it is all about. πŸŽ’

πŸŽ’ Cheers to our Friends for helping our youth head back with confidence and smiles!

They may be playing it cool, but Jordan and Marcus are the newest additions to our Passport Youth Incentive Program! With some guidance from Mentor Steffon, both earned their first stickers for positive behavior and their dedication to our literacy program.

This is where the journey begins! πŸ›‚

A night under the Big Top! πŸŽͺ✨ Mentor Zeyanna organized an outing to UniverSoul Circus during its stop in Houston, bringing youth and mentors together for a night out. From start to finish it was all smiles, and the kids left buzzing to tell their families about the fun they had. 🀹πŸŽͺ

Outings like these are made possible by supporters like you. Every gift helps us open doors to new experiences, from circus tickets to so much more. And they’re made possible by supporters like you. πŸ’™

After a conversation about learning new skills, he knew exactly what he wanted. To learn an instrument. His Friend Steffon knew exactly where to go. Soon they were at Guitar Center, testing out guitars, drums, and even a marimba. 🎢

By the end of the visit, he was asking about music lessons, and Steffon offered to teach him the drums himself. This is the heart of mentorship. Showing up, opening doors, and helping kids discover what they are capable of.

Blaze is a new big brother, and he is taking the job seriously. His dad has noticed the confidence and care he brings to it every day.

Today he took home a tote full of books, which means the reading habit he is building now has someone to share it with! πŸ‘¬ πŸ“š
