TeamUp Houston End-of-the-Year Celebration
HOUSTON CHRONICLE: More than 100 high school seniors from the Houston area were honored Wednesday by politicians and athletes, including Mayor Sylvester Turner, for completing a year with the program Team Up Houston. Team Up, which operates under the umbrella of the outreach center, works to introduce these struggling students to non-athlete sports careers, such as management or communications.
"Investing in our youth is one of the most important things we can do for our city," Turner said. "Team Up provides opportunities to young people in some of our most vulnerable communities expanding horizons and encouraging them to stay in school and pursue careers they may not have otherwise considered."
Through a collaboration with My Brother's Keeper, the Houston Health Department, the Houston Health Foundation, Bloomberg Associates and multiple sports teams locally and nationally, the program has been able to thrive for two years.
The main feature of Team Up is monthly Discovery Days, where professionals come to a school to introduce students to their off-the-field career, such as running a team's social media account. Many of the speakers come from similar backgrounds to the kids, helping them connect and engage.
The program also introduces students to volunteer and fundraising experience, scholarship opportunities, mentorship and networking.
According to Team Up data, all Team Up students "strongly agreed that this program has increased their understanding of the sports business industry, as well as the degrees that they can pursue in college related to sports." Students also said they better understand how to act professionally (90 percent) and will likely try to go to college after Team Up (70 percent).

“I’m happy that they made that decision,” Betts said. “I’m just grateful for the huge amount of support people gave me.”
The committee had flagged Betts’ file after he passed the bar exam in February, because of his three felony convictions for a carjacking he committed in Virginia two decades ago as a teenager.
MBK Rising! Inspires Young People of Color to Be More Effective Leaders
Senegal Mabry writes on Youth Today his experience with MBK Rising! while working on The Obama Foundation My Brother's Keeper Alliance Advisory Council:
"I am 21 years old and serve on the Obama Foundation’s My Brother’s Keeper Alliance (MBK) Advisory Council. I’m also a full-time student at Binghamton University and work as assistant to the chancellor of the New York State Education Department. As a young black man born in Harlem and raised in the Bronx, I’ve committed myself to making change in our education system and creating equity for young people across my state.
I know what it’s like to not have my voice heard, to not have a seat at the table and I was moved to see what leaders at MBK Rising! were doing to ensure no one in their communities feels voiceless again. When these communities claim their voice, they empower to commit to the deep personal work of saving lives in their communities.
The MBK network has always been diverse and intersectional but MBK Rising! not only highlighted the voices of black, Latinx and natives, it was led by those who have the most at stake in the work of MBK: our young people. I led the MBK Rising! youth programming with more than 150 participants."

Mayor Turner delivers 4th State of the City Address
Houston is stronger, resilient and sustainable
Job gains are up, unemployment reaches a record low, public safety remains a priority
Mayor Sylvester Turner delivered his fourth state of the city address on Monday, May 20, in front of a record crowd at the Greater Houston Partnership.
The mayor outlined an impressive list of the City’s accomplishments and future priorities involving the economy, digital innovation, a proposed new program for local businesses to support neighborhood parks and long-term recovery and resiliency after Hurricane Harvey.
Below are excerpts from the mayor’s speech. The full state of the city speech may be found here.
- Since we met last year, together more than 86,200 jobs have been created in our region, and the city now has the lowest unemployment rate since 1981 (almost four decades).
- The city’s state-of-the-art recycling center is now open in NE Houston; curbside recycling of glass is back.
- Pension reforms are working, with the unfunded liability down from $8.2B to $4.0 B, and we are fully paying the annual pension costs for the 2nd year in a row.
- Since 2016, city council has approved three balanced budgets; the fourth balanced budget (FY2020) will be without layoffs or deferrals and fund five police cadet classes for public safety.
- We look forward to working with the GHP to nudge the federal and state governments to advance the billions of dollars of federal flood mitigation funds, already approved, to expand our water channels, construct more detention basins, and build another reservoir and the coastal spine. To date we have not received one dollar for needed infrastructure projects 19 months after Harvey.
- Houston is blessed with signature parks that have attracted generous donors. In the last decade, Houston has earned a national reputation for its ongoing green renaissance fueled by transformative public-private partnerships. However, the work to uplift all our parks is far from complete. Today I am asking GHP, the Houston Parks Board, and the Parks Department to help me bring together 50 companies to form a city-wide coalition for our neighborhood parks primarily in communities that have been under-served. With 50 companies partnering with 50 parks, the “50-for-50” effort will touch every district in the city because all Houstonians should have easy access to welcoming, well maintained, safe and fun parks.
- As we build complete communities, the end goal is to build one complete city from recovery to resilient to sustainable.

Community Voice Update: House Bill 2184
"This bill will ensure the creation of transition plans for justice-involved youth upon release from a juvenile justice facility. Successful transitions of youth back on to school campuses reduces recidivism rates and gives youth the second chance they’ve earned."
Our Education Chief Kristi Rangel shared the great news on May 23, 2019:
"HB 2184- the re-entry bill for justice related youth was passed today! This bill will ensure the creation of transition plans for justice-involved youth upon release from a juvenile justice facility. Successful transitions of youth back on to school campuses reduces recidivism rates and gives youth the second chance they’ve earned. Janis and I have been a part of the work group that was instrumental in crafting this bill. This awesome news for the youth and communities we seek to serve."
This could not be done without the power of collaboration! One of our Criminal Justice Consultants Janis Bane mentioned:
"Bea [Marquez, Manager of Office of Student Support Services at HISD] brought the problem to my attention for discussion at a Youth Justice Council meeting. That led to creation of a Re-entry Committee formed through the Texas Disability Rights Advocacy Group. They presented on the issue to the Youth Justice Council. The Re-entry Committee worked with Mental Health America who revised a bill that didn’t make it through the last session. This is a very abbreviated version of events, but it represents the power of collaboration. Thanks to Bea, the State has a legislative fix to this important issue!!!"
Thank you to everyone who helped to make our voices heard and support House Bill 2184!

10 Research-based tips for building strong helping relationships with youth
Particularly since good working relationships between youth and mentors are the stock and trade of formal mentoring programs, it is surprising that the field has not sought to more directly benefit from the decades of careful clinical research on working alliances. Along these lines, University of South Florida psychologist Marc Karver and his colleagues recently conducted a major review of youth therapeutic alliances. Based on this comprehensive analysis they offer several tips for building relationships with youth, many of which have implications for the field of youth mentoring. These include suggested stances (e.g., being friendly, open, trusting, culturally sensitive, not taking mistrust personally) as well recommendations to build strong alliances with parents and caregivers. -Jean Rhodes

WIN WIN at Attucks Middle School
We hosted a successful WIN WIN program at Attucks on May 21, 2019. Youth participants appreciated the interaction with Houston Police Department officers regarding law and justice. Our Omowale Allen, Win Win Program Manager shared his thoughts on this session:
"Remarkable splendid
I know that I am being profuse with adjectives of praise, righteousness praise. WIN WIN at Attucks was very emotional, near tear jerking for me. The heart of WIN WIN is the breakout workshops that have the officers engaged in pyscho drama and role playing with the students. Youth felt free enough to express their concerns about justice and righteous behavior at the traffic stop. Officers and youth were bullish about the principle that all both parties should go home safely to their families.
The high point that riveted me was that the breakout leader displayed a picture of his young daughter and vividly stated the centrality of his daughter in his life. He told the students that he practiced behavior that would be respectful of his baby girl and the citizens that he encountered. He also shared his experiences growing up in the Attucks community, some of his comments were not pretty.
An ugly truth is better than a pretty lie.
WIN WIN has the potential to shift the balance of trust in disadvantaged communities back to equilibrium. I am sure that LEAD serves a similar function. I hope that the WIN WIN experience will ignite fruitful discussion about how to accelerate the WIN WIN presence in the urban dialogue.
A rare event has happened, the ones that we have been waiting for have shown up and performed. Rarely will you have the blend of officer talents and experiences with the opportunity to serve, teach and learn.
Ms. Potter, please let the officers know that their intervention was transformative. All should be proud of their profession. Also, a kudo for you, Chief Finner and the officers for building this transformative team.
From PLAN TO PLANET"
About WIN WIN
The Win Win Program aims to reduce the number of hostile and deadly encounters between youth citizens and law enforcement by imparting conflict resolution skills through highly interactive workshops.
Youth LEAD End-of-the-Year Celebration (Pilot Complete)
On 5/23/19 we concluded our Houston Harris County Youth LEAD pilot program at Attucks Middle School with a special end-of-year celebration! This year passed not without conflict, but has proven to be fruitful in creating a space where our youth can thrive and become better versions of themselves. Check out the article below highlighting the program on USA Today.
About Youth LEAD
The City of Houston and Harris County, who typically coordinate very effectively in recovery efforts resulting from natural disasters, have been working collective across agencies in a similar way to become the “first” in the country to provide the LEAD® program specifically designed for youth. We affectionately refer to this program as the Houston Harris County Youth LEAD® (HHCYL) Program. Much like the adult LEAD® that started in Seattle, HHCYL services are community-based, case management services designed to address the needs of youth who are referred by the HISD-PD in lieu of arrest or by the school principal based on demonstrative at-risk behaviors.
Youth Lead is a collaboration between Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis, MBK Houston, Houston Independent School District (HISD), HISD-Police Department, Houston reVision, and Harris County Protective Services (HCPS). Our interagency program staff will work as a team focusing on the root cause of the student’s behavior with the goals to:
- increase school attendance
- improve grades and literacy scores
- reduce disciplinary referrals
- decreased involvement in the justice system
Special Thanks to Commissioner Rodney Ellis for his support and leadership!
Rebuilding the System with Youth LEAD
At Attucks Middle School, where 40 students were arrested last year (the highest number at any Houston school district campus), [our Youth] LEAD program’s first year has had its share of obstacles. It has been hard, Wilson acknowledged, to get buy-in from teachers and administrators, who often default to punitive discipline or calls to campus police rather than sending students to LEAD.
Still there have been early – albeit small – successes: less fighting among the girls in the program, more attempts at conflict resolution, and a decrease in disciplinary referrals.
Peacekeepers Movement: SB 30 News
Out Community Safety Education Act (CSEA) training is state-mandated for police officers, high school students and those acquiring a driver's license, but that does not limit our ability to train everyone in Houston and surrounding cities. We believe that all people have a right to learn more about how to safely interact at a traffic stop to greatly reduce unnecessary casualties and increase the peace in our communities. We will accept training groups from social circles, church families, employing agencies and organizations at no cost for a limited time.
Email Willis.Robinson@houstontx.gov to schedule your training today!
Survey finds that Community Safety Education Act video is effective
AUSTIN – Ninety-seven percent of people surveyed after watching training on traffic stop behavior found that the training clearly described the roles and duties of both parties in a traffic stop. The training, called “Flashing Lights,” is a 16-minute combined video and PowerPoint presentation that provides specific instruction on traffic stop behavior by motorists and law enforcement officers in Texas
CitySavvy: Peacekeeper training eases traffic stop tensions
The Community Safety Education Act video is just one part of our Peacekeepers Movement training. Our Bureau Chief Noel Pinnock shares with CitySavvy about Senate Bill 30's Community Safety Education act training:
“This training is extremely timely,” Pinnock said. “You only have to listen to the news to know that we are in a national crisis. Shootings like the recent one in Baytown could have been avoided. We want this training to give peace of mind to both peace officers and citizens. We want to prevent injury, loss of life and loss of confidence in law enforcement.”
The Peacekeepers Movement was formed in response to the Community Safety Education Act, a state law that went into effect in September 2018, requiring all Texas peace officers, all Texas high school graduates and everyone who completes a driver education course to learn traffic stop safety. The curriculum was developed by Dr. Everette B. Penn, director of the TAPS Academy and professor of criminology at the University of Houston – Clear Lake. Courses are co-taught by Penn and HPD Public Affairs Officer Treva Mott.
“When the Community Safety Education Act went into effect, there was no funding or guidance on how to implement the training requirements,” Pinnock said. “The City of Houston and our partners have created the blueprint and will serve as a model for other cities across the state.” Pinnock said.
