Mission Statement
Youth SOULutions is a 501(c)(3) organization that empowers high-risk teens with the positive skills needed to break the generational cycle of self-destruction and incarceration.
About This Cause
As of early 2015 we began an organization for young girls at Harris County Juvenile Justice System, Youth SOULutions. Why SOULutions vs. Solutions ? We want to change the inner core (soul) of their thinking. Also the difference in solutions and Soulutions is the U. Only U can make it happen and U are responsible for U, your success or failure. We assist in revealing their highest potential and help toward reaching their long and short term goals. Our Tag line and motto is . IT’S A MIND THING Youth SOULutions is a faith based non-profit 501 c 3 organizations dedicated to helping young people overcome the negative mindset to which they often succumb and help them realize their true self-worth. We motivate and empower youth while residents of Harris County Juvenile Probation Department. Youth SOULutions, along with our community partners continue providing support long after their release to identify, define, and reach their highest values and potential. We work hand and hand with their JPO’s sharing updates, support, and services. We have provided services for over 120 young ladies since late 2015, with a success rate of 90.1% per Harris County Juvenile Probation Department. Families are provided with Triple P sessions free of charge (Positive Parenting Program). Triple P is the most researched evidence based parenting program in the world. Triple P’s distinctive multi-level system is the only one of its kind, offering a suite of programs. Our Positive Parent Practitioner, is certified in levels 2, 3, and 4 and holds a Master of Theology, as well as Certification in Mental Health First Aid USA. Please review www.tripleP.org Youth SOULutons also provides services to young boys and girls on probation or being held at the Juvenile Justice Center who have babies or are pregnant Youth SOULutions allows these young ladies to document their hopes and dreams and see themselves in the attire of their chosen professional. Our goal is to provide support, encouragement, promote trust, and build hope where there has been little or no hope for success outside of a life of criminal activity.
