From the grand opening in 2012 to the present, UTH's reach has grown exponentially reaching 300 members per week. UTH currently has two locations (one in Frisco and one in Denton). Its core programs are designed to provide social opportunities, social exposure, and real life experiences to increase social awareness, emotional regulation, respect for others, and teamwork skills. This is accomplished through 3 co-ed programs for grades K-5th; 3 co-ed programs for teens in grades 6th-12th; 2 programs for female teens only in grades 6th-12th; and 3 co-ed programs for 18+. In 2020 UTH opened a suite of Transitional aged programs to specifically assist those 18+ gain financial literacy, career advancement, social status, emotional stability, and an opportunity to live independently away from their parents. UTH continues to support the family system through parent consultation; advocacy and collaboration with a member's school; and family and individual therapies.
Since 2012, UTH members have gone on to build many relationships, often making friends and feeling like they fit in for the first time. Many have graduated and are now attending vocational programs and also college courses. Those that have reached high school or young adult age have secured entry level jobs and are able to hold their job placements. Those that stay in the UTH programs for at least a year grow in independence, personal motivation and accountability, and learn to demonstrate coping skills needed to move forward in relationships. Our newest suite of 18+ programs: Basic Living Skills, Transitional and Pre-Transitional Housing programs have allowed our members to gain financial literacy, career advancement, social status, and emotional stability along with confidence to live on their own.
United Through HOPE NEEDS help to maintain the yearly costs for the buildings and vehicles it owns. Yearly maintenance costs are rising and UTH is wanting to still ensure the costs to members attending programs stays low since health insurance does not easily cover social skills programming for those without severe needs. Your donations help keep the average cost of the programs a client pays to under $20 an hour!!! For example a child who attends all day on Saturdays (from 12-8pm) only pays on average to attend $80 compared to $400-800 at other places!
The mission of United Through HOPE (UTH) is to build strong leaders by focusing on the social skills, metacognitive skills, and soft skills necessary to foster resiliency, independence, and a sense of belonging. UTH believes that all individuals, regardless of disability or circumstance, have the opportunity to become strong leaders when provided with the correct support system and with support beginning in early childhood and continuing through the lifespan. The mission expanded to include transition aged, with the recent grand opening of our suite of Transitional programs including the Transitional Housing program for adults 18 and older who have high functioning social skills but still need support, guidance, and leadership to launch into the next phase of their life.
