Other Supports (Texas)
Texas’ 254 counties run a patchwork of youth supports—mentoring, re-engagement in school, work-based learning, and wraparound services—often braided with diversion or aftercare.
What We Track
- Mentoring & credible-messenger programs (dosage, retention)
- Re-engagement pathways (GED/HiSET, credit recovery, alternative education bridges)
- Workforce pipelines (CTE, pre-apprenticeship, apprenticeship, first-job placement)
- Ancillary supports (transportation, childcare, mental health access)
Methods
We track initiation (enrolled), completion (finished), and improvement (attendance/credits), pooling small-n results over 2–3 years. Employment outcomes are checked at 30/90/180 days where available.
