H.R. No. 1364

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Inspire, Encourage, Achieve of Beaumont is
	celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2017; and
	WHEREAS, Founded by Regina Rogers and the late Julie Rogers
	in 1997, IEA is dedicated to aiding underprivileged youth who have
	been involved in the juvenile justice system; it operates in
	partnership with the Jefferson County Juvenile Probation
	Department to reduce recidivism rates among juvenile offenders in
	Southeast Texas; the organization serves more than 350 youths
	annually through its programming in both Jefferson County's Minnie
	Rogers Juvenile Justice Center and its own Ben's Kids outreach to
	youth on probation; and
	WHEREAS, IEA works to provide appropriate assistance to
	children in the justice system, many of whom have suffered abuse and
	neglect, endured the absence of a parent, or struggled with
	learning disabilities; through cross-system collaborations, the
	organization promotes character development, healthy lifestyle
	choices, and improved relationships with family members,
	caregivers, law enforcement, school officials, and other
	individuals who can assist children in surmounting difficult
	circumstances; and
	WHEREAS, Among other services, IEA offers caregiver support,
	mental health counseling, case management, mentoring, literacy
	instruction, transportation, job training, tutoring, and a
	six-week summer learning program; its therapeutic, comprehensive
	response to crime and delinquency has resulted in a significant
	reduction in recidivism during juvenile probation; and
	WHEREAS, For the past two decades, IEA has enabled vulnerable
	young people to find better pathways in life, and by helping them
	build a brighter future as happy, productive citizens, it has
	strengthened communities across Southeast Texas; now, therefore,
	be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature hereby commemorate the 20th anniversary of Inspire,
	Encourage, Achieve and extend to all those associated with the
	organization sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it
	further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for IEA as an expression of high regard by the Texas House
	of Representatives.
