| Salesmanship Club Youth
and Family Centers has played a key role in La Calle Diez
(Tenth Street) Community Development Corporation, helping to revitalize
the neighborhood surrounding our school and family center in Oak Cliff.
Over the last ten years, this volunteer group has developed lots for affordable
single family homes on Ninth and Tenth Streets, and encouraged home construction
by others in North Oak Cliff. Nineteen homes were recently built by a private
developer at Ninth and Denver. Previously, five homes were constructed by
Habitat for Humanity in 1996, and 10 homes by U.S. Homes in 1999.
We are also a member of the Dallas Behavioral Healthcare Network,
a collaboration of local nonprofit, children's mental health organizations.
Dr. Jim Calvert, SCYFC’s chief psychologist, serves as vice president
of this private, not-for-profit network of mental health providers that
includes Buckner Children's Services, Children's Medical Center, Jewish
Family Service, Juliette Fowler Homes, and Salesmanship Club Youth and
Family Centers. Dr. Delane Kinney, SCYFC’s director of psychological
services, is past president of DBHN. |
