Youth Centers & Clubs

We empower limited means K-12 youth and their families to overcome individual challenges in order to achieve healthier and more fulfilling lives. Through out-of-school programming, and using a long-term, relationally-based and holistic approach to development, we work to enrich the mind, body and spirit. We assist with academic needs, teach social and emotional learning skills, provide other life skills and introduce youth to experiences they might not otherwise enjoy. Our youth come from families that struggle to help their children achieve their potential because they are burdened with their own issues. Our work with families provides support to mitigate situations impacting our students, such as hunger, homelessness, inadequate transportation, financial instability and other Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).

We save animals and help our neighbors care for the pets they love. At Friends For Life, every animal matters. Founded in 2002, Friends For Life introduced the no-kill shelter model to Houston – saving animals regardless of their breed, age or condition. Houston-grown, we’re here to help our neighbors care for the pets they love. We’re not finished until every animal has a safe home. Until then, we’ll be innovating, improving and tracking results to find the most effective ways to save lives.
