OneStar: HCDE CASE for Kids - Community Engagement VISTA
 
 
 
Houston and its surrounding communities are in need of engaging individuals who are ready to mobilize resources in order to support the youth of city for life beyond graduation. The time is now to create solutions for Houston’s at-risk youth to have a brighter future. The Community Engagement VISTA will identify resources and gaps in preparing youth from low-economic areas in the areas of skill-development and workforce readiness. Harris County Department of Education (HCDE) was established in 1889 by the Texas legislature to equalize educational opportunities for children in the greater Houston area. Throughout its history, HCDE's programs have evolved to meet the changing needs of students and educators. The Center for Afterschool, Summer and Enrichment for Kids (CASE for Kids), is a division dedicated to supporting high quality (OST) programming to over 7,000 students each year. CASE for Kids helps communities by build collaborative partnerships to support at-risk students and their families; and educate elected officials, foundations and businesses on the importance of sustaining effective programs.
