Corporate & Community Partners:
Build a stronger SETX by partnering your business or organization with our mission. Whether through sponsored projects, job placement opportunities for our graduates, or resource sharing, your partnership provides the bridge these men need to cross into long-term success.
Spread the Word
Influence is a powerful gift. Help us amplify our mission by sharing our stories on social media, inviting us to speak at your local church or civic group, and ensuring that every man in SETX who needs a fresh start knows where to find us.
Become a Funder or Donor
Your generosity fuels every "fresh start" by providing the vital resources our participants need to succeed. We gratefully accept financial contributions to cover certification and program costs, as well as in-kind donations of new or gently used landscaping tools, commercial equipment, and supplies. Whether you give a monetary gift or the tools of the trade, you are making a direct investment in a man’s future and the restoration of our community.
Volunteer Your Time
We are looking for mentors, guest speakers, and hands-on helpers. If you have a skill to teach, from landscaping expertise to financial literacy, or simply a heart to listen and guide, your presence can be the turning point in a participant’s journey.
When we uplift one man, we stabilize a family.
When we stabilize a family, we strengthen a neighborhood.
When we strengthen a neighborhood, we change our city.
Be the spark that starts the change.
Big Thanks to Our Community Partners.
