Success That Sticks
Here at Reset Mentoring we are committed to helping teens transform their lives from "at risk" to wildly productive. We do this three key ways.

Immediate Help
We reach out to the teens inside the juvenile justice system facility, building relationships between the men and women who volunteer to make a difference and the teens who have been sentenced by a judge to serve time.
Continued Care
Once a teen has completed their in-placement sentence, their mentor & our Reset team follows them back out into the community, helping them to get reconnected in school, sports, or finding employment.
Long Term
Even when probation ends and 95% of the support system is gone, Reset Mentoring is still there. As long as the teen is moving forward, we will use our resources and time to help them become successful adults who will give back to the community.
Mentors and Volunteers are the backbones of everything we do at Reset Mentoring and we are always looking for new people to add to our team!
​
From our one-on-one mentors who can meet our teens where they are and provide wisdom and guidance to help them take their next best steps to volunteers who simply want to serve. We need you.
The Need
Financial Partners and Sponsors
We are always in need of sponsors for our events. From monthly sponsors to Night Out Donors, your financial support make our work possible.
Male Mentors
We are in need of male mentors for our youth in the CORE Program at Williamson County Juvenile Services.
Food Volunteers
Our Thursday Night, Teen Nights wouldn't happen without our food volunteers. If you love to cook, or just want to learn, come help make our teens and your food dreams come true.
We are a faith-based program, but we believe that ANY teen who has been arrested and needs help resetting their life can come to us. We serve all ethnic, socio-economic, and different lifestyle groups. The only requirement we have is that the teen has to have been arrested or fallen into legal trouble.
We have delivered food to gang members in parks when they called us hungry. We've gone to get HIV tests with our teens and cried over the results.
Our teens come in all colors, both boys and girls, and they are all cared for as if they were our own. Some of the population we serve can be scary and intimidating for some people, but a lot of our kids are just very misunderstood and overlooked.
​
The majority of the population we served has suffered through multiple different traumas and is operating in a fight, flight, or freeze mode to survive. This is why we put such an emphasis on TBRI (Trust Based Relational Intervention) to reach the youth we offer assistance too and help them reset their lives the best way they can.
Real World Results
"Reset has helped shape me into the person I am today. I feel like I am doing so much better with the help & guidance from the Reset Team and my mentor. They go out of their way to check in on me and get me plugged into life skill classes like robotics (which is my favorite). I can't even tell you what my most favorite thing about them is because I just love all of the opportunities and activities they do. They are awesome and truly do care about us!"

"The Reset Team has made such a big impact on my life, I couldn't even try to steer myself down the wrong path when I was released back into the community! This is just what they do and what the CORE program at Wilco did for me. That experience will always be something I remember and something I never take for granted! Mrs. Lorie and her team did so much for me and I can't say thank you enough!"
