Dedicated to its mission to inspire, equip and gui

Dedicated to its mission to inspire, equip and guide inner-city children to live, Youth Development Center (YDC) provides a free of charge, after-school academic program for at-risk students in grades 1 through 8. Monday through Thursday during the academic year, YDC provides educational enrichment, including: results-oriented academic development with classrooms supervised by certified teachers; leadership training and character development based on Christian values; nutritious meals; transportation from selected campuses to YDC and home at the end of the day; field trip opportunities during the school year; and a summer enrichment program.
•
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, YDC is altering their model to one-on-one teaching in order to continue to provide educational assistance to the children they serve while maintaining student’s safety and health during these unprecedented times.
•
Spindletop is proud of its 14-year partnership with YDC. As we continue to work closely with YDC and support their great work, we are excited to announce our recent gift to their organization! These funds will help YDC implement this new model while distance learning is still in effect, such as through individual supply kits for each student so no supplies are cross contaminated throughout the day. PPE will be purchased for staff and students as well as antibacterial cleaners to sanitize areas between each tutoring session. Additionally, funds will go toward food, snacks and prizes for the kids throughout the schoolyear.
•
Spindletop sends its heartfelt thanks to YDC for their dedication to the families served. Their ability to pivot their programming to work with kids during these times is one of the many ways YDC brings exceptional education to Houston’s at-risk children year after year.

The Spindletop Army of Volunteers has begun servic

The Spindletop Army of Volunteers has begun service projects once again! On Friday, volunteers from across the oil and gas industry gathered together at The Center for Hearing and Speech (CHS) to assist with landscaping in order to ready The Center’s new home for its grand opening.
•
The Center for Hearing and Speech is the only full-service resource in Houston to teach deaf children to listen and speak without the use of sign language. Since 1947, CHS has helped thousands of Houston-area children (from infancy to 18 years old) gain listening, speaking and literacy skills – the tools they need to improve their quality of life and achieve success in society. Spindletop has been a longtime supporter of CHS for more than 25 years, and recently, we made a multiyear pledge to CHS to support their new facility & programming. In honor of our gift, CHS has named the playground the Spindletop Playground.
•
With the new facility set to open its doors at the end of August, volunteers made a huge impact on prepping the outside landscaping while also enjoying a tour of The Center’s new home and seeing the Spindletop Playground. The beautiful new facility is sure to be a welcoming and fun environment for children as they learn the skills needed to overcome deafness and major hearing impairment.

A child's early years are the foundation for his or her future development, providing a strong base for lifelong learning and learning abilities, including cognitive and social development. As a result, children who do not have access to stimulating learning environments may be as much as 18 months behind their peers when they start kindergarten.
•
Small Steps Nurturing Center provides an exemplary early childhood program (2- and 3-year-olds through kindergarten) that instills and fosters the social, emotional, physical, intellectual, and spiritual growth of economically at-risk young children and their families. There is no financial cost to families. Alternatively, parents commit to a minimum of 10 to 15 tuition hours, which can be fulfilled by attending parent education events, assisting on field trips or in the classroom, and participating in parent-child activities.
•
As the new schoolyear is quickly approaching with distance learning in effect, Small Steps is hard at work to ensure their students are prepared for continued at-home education. Laptops for teachers and chromebooks/tablets for students will be provided to those who do not have access to technology at home. Spindletop is proud to announce a recent gift to Small Steps to assist with these efforts. Additionally, activity supplies will be purchased for each classroom’s unique use in an effort to reduce any cross-classroom exposure once in-person schooling begins. Small Steps, we thank you for your commitment to the wellbeing and early education for Houston’s at-risk children not only during the current COVID-19 pandemic but also throughout each schoolyear!

Currently, the median age for child sexual abuse i

Currently, the median age for child sexual abuse is 9 years old, and only 1 in 10 children will disclose abuse. With staggering statistics such as these, Houston is fortunate to have The Children’s Assessment Center, a safe haven to sexually abused children and their families – where they can receive the kind of care and treatment they so richly deserve.
•
The CAC uses an extraordinarily effective multidisciplinary team approach for the prevention, assessment, investigation, referral for prosecution and treatment of child sexual abuse. Their goal is to promote the complete healing of these victims and their families. Throughout the entirety of the pandemic, The CAC’s work has not stopped; they have continued to treat and counsel the kids who walk through their doors. As families have been in quarantine and had limited social engagements, children have been isolated and unable to report or disclose sexual abuse. The CAC anticipates that there are many more outcries of abuse yet to be heard.
•
Spindletop recently made a gift to The CAC to support the thousands of Harris County children to receive the help and services they need to heal from sexual abuse. Our support will assist with the variety of programs offered, including forensic interviewing, medical clinic, therapy and psychology. We send our heartfelt thanks to The CAC for providing compassionate, welcoming atmosphere and being an advocate for these children.
