Alex S. graduated our Parents as Teachers Foundational 2 Program. He was selected as a State Board Representative for the Prevention and Early Intervention Parent Advisory Committee. Alex S. has been serving on our local PAT Parent Advisory Committee, volunteering with our Dads in Action program, and Fatherhood Initiative since graduating from our PAT Program. His goal is to bring to the forefront the challenges that dad’s face with “the system” in Texas. He recognizes that not all dads are blessed like he was with the outcome in court in receiving full custody of his daughter after his divorce. He wants Texas to lead the way in getting dads fair and equitable opportunities relating to child safety and custody.

Jabez came to live at our campus in January 2018. He was grieving the loss of his mother and angry about being placed in foster care miles away from his hometown. Through our trauma-informed care and dedicated team members supporting him along his journey of healing, he has grown into such an amazing young man. He graduated high school in 2021 and is currently attending San Antonio College. Jabez has maintained employment for more than three years, learned money management skills and obtained his driver’s license. He was recently accepted into a Supervised Independent Living Program, and is living on his own with his SJRC Texas Family rooting for him every step of the way..
