Our mission is to nurture resilience, inspire personal growth, and cultivate a future where every young individual has the tools, opportunities, and support to realize their full potential.
Our vision is centered on youth empowerment and self- actualization. We envision a world where all underserved youth are uplifted, their voices are heard, their dreams are valued, and their potential is unlocked. We strive to create an inclusive community where every young person has equal access to resources, opportunities, and mentorship, enabling them to shape their own destiny and become catalysts for positive change.
We have three major programs:
Resilience Rising-We are committed to providing a haven and empowering opportunities for young adults aged 18-24 whom HIV impacts. We believe in their strength, resilience, and ability to overcome challenges. The young adults participating in Resilience Rising may be impacted by HIV in various ways, even if they are not HIV-positive.
EmpowerED for Life-
At TWCUYC, our goal is to transform the lives of at-risk youth and individuals with a history in the criminal justice system. Our program, “EmpowerED for Life,” is dedicated to reducing recidivism, preventing prison involvement, and equipping participants with crucial life skills, including soft skills.
Program Highlights
- Life Skills Training: Essential skills in communication, problem-solving, and job readiness.

- Speakers Panel: Inspirational stories of successful reintegration.
- Re-Entry Services: Specialized support for housing, jobs, and legal guidance.
One Hour, Infinite Impact-
Our program, "One Hour, Infinite Impact," is designed to engage and empower young people to serve their assigned communities in the most needed areas of the Dallas- Fort Worth area.
How It Works:
Youth Engagement: Our program begins by recruiting
and training dedicated young volunteers eager to make a difference.
Community Assignment: Each youth volunteer is assigned to a community in need within the Dallas-Fort Worth area. These communities are carefully selected based on their unique needs and challenges.
One Hour of Service: Our volunteers dedicate just one hour to serving their assigned communities. This commitment ensures that participation is accessible to all, no matter how busy their schedules. Those needing to fulfill community service hours can easily do so through our program.
Extended Service: For those passionate about making an even greater impact, we welcome volunteers to contribute more than one hour of service. Many of our participants extend their commitment because they see the tangible difference they can make.
