Youth On The Move
"Youth on the Move helped me see my strengths and turn them into real opportunities."
- Kyren Jackson
After relocating to Houston from New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina, Kyren faced instability and homelessness by age 18. Through Youth on the Move, he built a personal budget, attended employment and financial workshops, enrolled in free cybersecurity training with edX/Verizon and United Way, and registered with Work Texas.
With Family Houston's support for transportation, communication, and digital tools, he secured a role with Harris Health's HR department while continuing at the Toyota Center. Today, Kyren also partners with youth organizations as a speaker and recruiter, using his journey to inspire others while building a strong career foundation.

Client Testimonials
Success Stories
Real impact, real results. See how our programs and services have changed the lives of individuals and families across Houston.
“Great counseling offered on a sliding scale. I’ve been very happy with the services I’ve received here. Everyone needs someone to talk to now and then to get through life’s tough moments. This place is affordable, but the therapy is high quality, and the environment is genuinely caring.”
