Central TX YTH Alliance Prgm Dev Coord VISTA Teleservice

Lone Star Justice Alliance (LSJA) works to address systemic failures in the justice system through advocacy and evidence-based programs that improve life outcomes for justice-involved youth and emerging adults ages 16-24 in Dallas who are disconnected from education and employment. To promote recovery and prevent recidivism, justice-involved opportunity youth need appropriate therapy, education and career training provided through community-based interventions. LSJA's initiatives utilize evidence-based best practices to engage, redirect and rehabilitate those who have been chronically disengaged and mistreated.

The HYPE Center serves as a reengagement hub designed to connect these young people with education, workforce, and supportive services. Further help on this page can be found by clicking here.
