Today, we hosted our annual holiday lunch for the kids at the Opportunity Center. Once a former juvenile detention facility, it’s now a community hub offering GED classes, job training, & services to help young people thrive outside the justice system.

On June 28, 1969, the Stonewall Riots started in NYC. Police raided the Stonewall Inn, a 'gay' club in Greenwich, sparking a riot among patrons and residents. This event led to 6 days of protests, becoming a catalyst for the US gay rights movement. #pridemonth #equality #LGBTQ

Collaboration between @TheHarrisCTR, @HCTX_Resources, @HCJPD, @HarrisCountyDAO, and @HCSOTexas has been essential in reducing the population of youth in juvenile detention by half over the past few years.
