DEAR JUVIE

ARGYLE, TX

    • Mission

    We are a youth-led organization that seeks to connect detained youth in juvenile detention or correctional facilities to youth in the community through letters of hope, love, and encouragement.​​ Together, we can combat the loneliness and disconnection felt behind detention walls that have helped contribute to skyrocketing numbers of mental health issues in juvenile detainees. Using the power of the written word, we believe that all youth should be able to feel seen and heard - no matter where they are.
