“We are one of the few agencies in Texas who can meet all of the requirements of the Family First

Prevention Services Act passed by Congress earlier this year.

When caring for children who have been removed from their homes, we immediately start working towards permanency. The question is…what does permanency look like for each child?

Permanency can mean returning to their immediate family as the parents have done the work needed to bring their children home. It could mean moving in with a relative, a friend of the family or a foster parent.

I am very proud of how our programs continue to meet the changing needs of children. Early this year, we implemented Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) campus wide. This evidence-based treatment modality trains caregivers to provide effective support and treatment for children who have experienced trauma. Our SPARK program (Supporting Parents and Reaching Kids) has already served 97 parents and caregivers. This eight-week course is offered at no cost to caregivers (parents, grandparents, foster parents, etc) wanting to effect positive change in the behaviors of children while maintaining structure in the home.

Boysville’s programs are all nationally accredited by COA (Council on Accreditation). We meet and exceed all state mandates by following national best practices. We are one of the few agencies in Texas who can meet the requirements of the Family First Prevention Services Act passed by Congress earlier this year.

For 75 years, we have provided a loving home to children. With your support, we will continue for another 75 years helping children grow into responsible adults.

Ozzie takes advantage of every opportunity he can.

He is a proud member of the Honor Guard, who presents the national and state flags at football games. As part of the Judson Rocket Crew, he helps to boost team spirit and support the football team. Every home game, Ozzie and other JROTC students hoist the JHS flags to celebrate their team on the field. Ozzie is also a member of The Talons, Judson’s JROTC drill team. Ozzie is also a Staff Sargent of the Air Force JROTC at Judson High School.

“I fit in. It is disciplined and fun. I wear the uniform with pride,” said Ozzie. “I like being a part of something bigger than myself.”

This is all in preparation for his aspirations to join the Marines. He looks to the Marines as a role model for discipline, duty, and strength.

Ozzie Opts for Excellence

“It’s a lot of work to become a Marine and an honor to join the corps,” said Ozzie.

Ozzie isn’t all work and no play. He always makes time for his other hobbies, dance and music. Ozzie has always loved dance, but he just began taking classes this year.

“I love hip-hop because I can express myself through the music,” said Ozzie.

Ozzie has also recently been teaching himself how to play the guitar by following online videos and practicing in his spare time. He perfects his skills by learning to play classic rock.

Briana and Ariana look alike. They finish each other sentences. They even laugh the same. However, these identical twins have distinct personalities and different aspirations. Ariana is free spirit while Briana likes structure and organization. “I want to be a psychiatrist,” said Briana. Ariana wants to travel and become a historian.

After several foster care placements, both Briana and Ariana came to Boysville in 2013. The girls needed stability and structure. Both girls immediately joined the basketball team and soccer team at Boysville. They participated in the Christmas pageant. Most importantly, they felt like they were able to be teenagers.

“We were rushed in the growing up process,” said Briana. After arriving at Boysville, she said she was finally able to relax and enjoy being a teen. “My houseparents always treated us like we were part of

their family,” said Ariana. “We went on trips to Oklahoma and to the beach at Corpus.” The girls were placed in different cottages to help meet their individual needs. The sisters reunited with an older sibling and the girls finished high school while living with her. However, they came back into care right after graduation.

Stephanie Harvey, Boysville’s Supervised Independent Living Director, knew the girls and immediately reached out to their case worker to bring them home.

“I love these girls,” said Stephanie. They are so funny and both are so intelligent.” Stephanie is working with both girls to recognize on their own individual strengths as they work towards their goals.

Briana and Ariana are both glad to be in the SIL program.

“Boysville goes above and beyond in providing for the kids,” said Ariana. “I’ve always considered it my home, even when I was away.”
