How The Program Works

The team at Fight For Your Light partners directly with juvenile detention centers across the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area to deliver a faith-based program while youth are still in the justice system. Once released, each teen is paired with a mentor who supports their re-entry into the community by helping them plan for the future and develop the life skills they need to thrive.

Beyond one-on-one mentorship, community events bring the wider community together to build a strong, lasting network of support around every young person in the program. More on upcoming events can be found on the Get Involved page.
