Church part of partnership

Juliette Fowler Communities (JFC) held a ribbon cutting on May 16 for its new Youth Support Center (YSC), which will now be managed by R3 Student Outreach in a new partnership and location to serve North Texas youth and young adults. The YSC, which was established in 2020, moved two miles from JFC to 4210 Junius St. into a 4,371-square-foot space on the campus of East Dallas Christian Church, a longtime partner of JFC. It will provide wraparound services under one roof to North Texas youth and young adults, ages 10 to 24, at no charge. The program will focus on helping participants excel in both personal and academic pursuits, and organizers anticipate serving more than 400 during the first year of this new affiliation. Operations begin immediately, and program registration and more information are available at r3student.org/dallas. — Elizabeth Lenart
