What is our mission and why should you care?
Solutions Defeat Problems
The development of (Empty Spaces) spawned from the idea that financially supporting, emotionally mentoring, and partnering for access to resources: should happen consistently for young men experiencing traumas beyond our understanding. Key Contributors are:
Loss of parents
Aged out of foster care
Homelessness
A Diversionary Center for Male Youth
Who We Are
Empty Spaces is designed as a diversionary center for young men dealing with obstacles found in moments of extreme poverty, homelessness, and orphaned.
Our Goals
We are breaking ground on a 3-acre facility to house and restore 28 young men from the Northeast TX. We aim to disrupt traumas of poverty, homelessness, and loss of parental guidance.
Our History
Since 2009 we've worked tirelessly in the under-funded community impacting the lives of over 2000 families. We have offered financial support, alternative activities such as sports training & community engagement, and removed illegal firearms from the hands of troubled young men. We've planted a branch in the Midwest to continue this work. We offer, food to homeless, resources to mothers of troubled youth, alternative conflict resolution classes and partner with the local PD to assist in volunteer opportunities and community outreach locally.
