Be The Difference

There are more than 10,000 vulnerable youth in North Texas. Our mission is to help these youth rewrite their stories, and we cannot do it without our team of volunteers! If you are interested in being the difference for vulnerable youth in our community, we have many ways that you can get involved.

Volunteers don’t necessarily have the time; they have the heart.”

“It is such a privilege for me to get to get to know and work with these amazing kids! What Together We Thrive does really matters, and I am honored to be a part of it. We are bridging the gap for these kids at a time when they need it the most. Many of them are at a crossroads between condemning themselves to mediocrity at best, or making a real run at the kind of life they want and hope for. A steady presence in their lives is making all the difference. “

Briggs

Volunteer Life Coach, Together We Thrive

Briggs Burt embodies this truth! As a dedicated FRIEND volunteer, Briggs serves weekly at one of our high school campuses, offering exactly what our youth need most – a consistent, caring adult who shows up just for them. From the moment he stepped into this role, he blended in seamlessly and quickly became a trusted presence that students look forward to seeing.

Briggs is someone who listens, encourages, and believes in every student he encounters. His ability to connect with youth, especially those who often feel unseen or unheard, makes his impact truly invaluable.

The time Briggs invests each week strengthens everything we strive to build – trust, confidence, resilience, and hope. His service reminds our students that they matter and that there are adults who care enough to walk alongside them.

We are deeply grateful for Briggs’ heart for youth and for the example he sets of what it looks like to give generously of one’s time. His commitment reflects the very spirit of Together We Thrive and shows students that they are worth showing up for! 

“What I see through Together We Thrive is the difference that someone is caring about a young person and that brings – that mental safety net to help them know they’re not alone.  It’s so simple. People think it’s hard and it’s not. It doesn’t take a lot to really help a young person navigate life. We can change kids’ lives, that’s what it’s all about. Together We Thrive is focused on relationships. Relationships are easy, you just have to care about someone. Get out there and do something. It ends up being so rewarding for you.”
