Engineered to function as a nexus for educational advancement, personal enrichment, and community growth, the center aims to cultivate a fertile ground for multifaceted development.

Janet Morris-Lane, the Foundation’s esteemed Executive Director, elucidated the center’s pioneering approach in an interview with CBS News Texas.

“We start with our scholars when they’re in middle school and stay all the way through college graduation because we know to get them to college is one thing, going through college is a whole different matter. To pair with that, we have moms groups so that we are connecting, so it’s a two-generational approach,” she said.

“As we move forward, we want to really grow and offer things to the broader community and to do other educational opportunities with and for the community.”

The Success Center is poised to offer a panoply of meticulously designed programs and resources with the objective of equipping the younger generation to ascend the echelons of academic achievement and emerge as the future vanguards of societal leadership. The myriad offerings include:

• Rigorous educational workshops curated to augment scholastic prowess and provide requisite preparations for the college-bound trajectory.
• Career development seminars, wherein participants can hone skills in resume construction, engage in mock interviews, and master the nuanced art of professional networking.
• Mentorship initiatives that enable seasoned professionals to impart wisdom and experiential insights, thereby serving as catalysts in the intellectual and vocational metamorphosis of the students.
• A uniquely conceived ‘relationship incubator,’ aimed at facilitating interpersonal connections amidst the tapestry of 30 diverse languages and cultural backgrounds that constitute the Vickery Meadow community.
• A series of community-centric events open to individuals across the age spectrum, engineered to stimulate communal synergy and foster a collaborative spirit.

Through this comprehensive amalgamation of programs, The Success Center stands as a beacon of community engagement and educational empowerment, marking yet another significant milestone in the Vickery Meadow Youth Development Foundation’s illustrious legacy.

“There’s over 30 languages in the Vickery Meadows community, so a lot of families are refugees and immigrants in this community but there’s a whole diversity of people,” she said. “Every time I’ve ever met with a family, they have always said—you know, if they came from another country—’I came here for education.’ Even families that live here, have lived here all their lives, if they haven’t had opportunities in life, they’re always saying, ‘I want my kid to have that educational opportunity that I didn’t have.'”
