Building hope for our future

Transforming Life Center (TLC) is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization that serves at-risk youth (ages 13-19) who reside in Bell and Coryell Counties. In 2012 TLC became established due to proactive reaction to increasing criminal behaviors and lack of services for the at-risk youth population in our community. TLC has partnered with Communities in Schools of Central Texas (CIS), the Department of Family and Protective Services, and Bell County Juvenile Services to make a difference in our youth’s lives. 

In the last five years Transforming Life Center has helped the youth obtain employment, complete high school, attend college, and enter military services. Through decision-making and building communication, the TLC volunteers and mentors have successfully aided in combating youth from self-destructive and criminal behaviors. Furthermore, TLC volunteers and mentors have been instrumental in empowering, encouraging, and equipping at-risk youth to reach their goals by guiding life skills, along with knowledge in understanding self-esteem and self-worth. 

In the next stage of this incredible journey, Transforming Life Center would like to expand our services in helping youth by purchasing land and property to create a state-of-the-art Multipurpose Performing Arts Youth Center. The center would improve and showcase their talents through art, music, poetry, spoken word, singing, dancing, and acting. 

To help us achieve our goals, we rely on caring adults in the community to participate. Your continued support and participation are indispensable for the success of this initiative. We believe that every young individual deserves a chance to turn their lives around and become productive citizens. Without the continued support and participation of community members, this need may go unmet. If the change is to happen for our youth, we must not just talk about change, but we must become proactive by being the vehicle that helps produce change. By donating, you can make a lasting difference in the lives of youth. 

Your donations to Transforming Life Center are tax-deductible.
