The Hogg Foundation for Mental Health, in partnership with the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, is excited to award 20 Texas nonprofit organizations $54,000 each over two years to participate in the Pathways for Success for Transition-Age Youth and their Families (PST) project.
These awards will support organizations with a history of providing innovative and community-based programs; and resources for youth as they transition into young adulthood.
Funds will be used to launch or expand existing services that support the mental health and well-being of transition-age youth (14-24 years) and their families during this particularly challenging time of COVID-19.
“Strengthening the mental health and well-being of youth and their families during the pivotal transition into young adulthood is central to increasing their opportunities for success,” says Vicky Coffee, director of programs at the Hogg Foundation. “We’re honored to support organizations who have experience and a commitment to supporting youth and their families”.
Through developing supportive relationships with young people, PST grant partners will work to bolster youth resiliency and equip them with life skills and tools necessary to live independently as adults. Another goal is to ready youth for future leadership and taking control of their destinies.
“The services and support offered by these grant partners will play an important role in promoting mental health and well-being of BIPOC youth and communities across Texas.” says Dr. Octavio N. Martinez, Jr., executive director of the Hogg Foundation.
