Ms. Pena has been a volunteer for over 12 years coming to us through her company Primary Services. She has been instrumental in the planning and implementation of our various holiday celebrations to which Primary Services has provided gifts and gift cards to between 75 – 100 youth.
Ms. Beasley is a long-time volunteer whose children were once participants in our After-School and Mentoring Programs. She can always be called upon to assist with any special event or special project including our Fall Festival, Children’s Health Day, Third Ward Community Clean-Up and Lemonade Day.
Mr. Watkins has been a dedicated volunteer and true advocate for over 20 years. He has been a long-time tutor for the After-School Program assisting youth in math, reading and science. During the pandemic, Mr. Watkins tutored virtually to ensure children still received the assistance they needed.
The Good Life Outcomes program aspires to promote a vision that advances inclusion, equity, and racial and social justice in the Houston/Harris County community. The program aims for equitable opportunities and outcomes for all by operating within a framework of three pillars — Awareness, Advocacy, and Action. Each pillar has a set of related strategic activities focusing on Education, Health Care, and Criminal Justice disparities.
The program creates a broad coalition of members from various institutions and communities. The strength of their diverse voices carrying the message is a powerful component to effect policy change. Moreover, the coalition encourages membership from the populations most at risk and adversely affected by social injustices, thereby giving them a voice and empowering them to advocate on their own behalf. In addition, this project includes a “collective impact” approach, bringing people together, in a structured way, to achieve meaningful change.

Thank you for the privilege of sharing your time to learn more about Civic Heart Community Services, what we do, and why we do it.
It would be our pleasure to visit with you to learn more about your interests and how we can develop a mutually beneficial partnership.
If you are interested in making a donation, a gift right now of $1,000 will help support a 10-week summer enrichment program for 40 youth; provide 6 months of mental health counseling for 10 adolescents; help provide transportation for 25 justice-system-involved girls to participate in social/mentoring activities; and/or help to provide minor repairs to homes needed to keep older persons in their homes as they age gracefully.
We believe in building partnerships and then collaborating to maximize resources and avoid waste and duplication of services. Please connect with us if you are interested in partnering with Civic Heart in any capacity to enhance the scale and reach of the people we serve.
