| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize YES to YOUTH Montgomery County Youth Services for | ||
| empowering young citizens, strengthening families, and saving | ||
| lives in Montgomery County; and | ||
| WHEREAS, YES to YOUTH began more than 45 years ago as a | ||
| small, volunteer-led agency committed to mentoring troubled | ||
| youth; since its humble beginnings, the organization has | ||
| developed into a network of broad-ranging support services for | ||
| children and families in Montgomery County who are facing mental | ||
| health struggles, abuse, neglect, homelessness, or human | ||
| trafficking; and | ||
| WHEREAS, YES to YOUTH's BridgeWay Youth Shelter in Conroe | ||
| provides a safe home, beds, and services for vulnerable children | ||
| ranging from age 10 to 17 who are under the conservatorship of | ||
| Texas Child Protective Services; BridgeWay is the only licensed | ||
| youth shelter in the area that serves a broad range of youth | ||
| clients rather than limiting its services to provide for a | ||
| specific client population; the shelter has given hope to many | ||
| over the years, and in 2024, it served as a refuge for more than | ||
| 80 children in need; and | ||
| WHEREAS, YES to YOUTH's Youth and Family Services program | ||
| is staffed by a team of devoted licensed counselors who provide | ||
| families in crisis with immediate support and trauma-informed | ||
| counseling; the trusted care professionals also staff a 24-hour | ||
| crisis hotline and help to inform meaningful mental health | ||
| awareness and suicide prevention programs in local schools; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A trusted resource and a safe haven to many, YES | ||
| to YOUTH is helping to restore futures and bring hope to young | ||
| citizens and families, and all who have helped the organization | ||
| to grow and succeed in its mission are truly deserving of special | ||
| recognition; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th | ||
| Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend all associated | ||
| with YES to YOUTH Montgomery County Youth Services for their | ||
| exemplary efforts and their many outstanding contributions to | ||
| the youth and families of Montgomery County; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| the organization as an expression of esteem from the Texas | ||
| Senate. | ||
| Creighton | ||
| ________________________________ | ||
| President of the Senate | ||
| I hereby certify that the | ||
| above Resolution was adopted by | ||
| the Senate on August 15, 2025. | ||
