Dear Williamson County Community, We are thrilled to present “Haunted Texas,” a project born from the spirit of our heritage and a vision for our future. This is much more than a theme park—it’s a beacon for economic growth and a catalyst for unity in our community. Economic Revitalization: “Haunted Texas” promises a wave of job opportunities, from the craftsmen shaping our attractions to the tech wizards behind our virtual experiences. We are not just building a park; we are uplifting local businesses and crafting a tourist destination that will channel vital revenue back into our beloved county, enhancing public services and infrastructure. Social Harmony: At its core, “Haunted Texas” will be a gathering place—a venue for events that weave the fabric of our society tighter, fostering pride and solidarity. Our interactive exhibits aren’t just about thrills; they’re about education, about delving into the depths of our state’s past to bring to light the stories that shaped us. A Safer Community: Our youth are the architects of tomorrow, and through “Haunted Texas,” we offer them a path away from the crossroads of delinquency. By partnering with justice programs, we’re also paving a road to redemption for ex-offenders, believing in second chances and the power of rehabilitation. Family Bonds: Families are the cornerstone of Williamson County, and our park is dedicated to creating a space where they can forge lifelong memories. We understand the challenges faced by families of incarcerated individuals and extend our support to them, aiming to bring solace and joy into their lives. Preventing Crime, Promoting Trust: We stand with the Texas Criminal Justice Coalition in the belief that prevention is pivotal. “Haunted Texas” will actively support diversion programs for at-risk youth and collaborate with law enforcement to build bridges of trust between them and the communities they protect. “Haunted Texas” is more than a name; it’s a commitment to our county’s prosperity, security, and heart. Join us as we turn this vision into a legacy for generations to come. Sincerely, AmyBTrippinYo on X #HauntedTexas #WilliamsonCounty #CommunityFirst #EcoFriendlyFun #TexasJobs #LocalTourism #HistoricTexas #FamilyEntertainment #SocialImpact #JusticeReform #CrimePrevention #YouthEngagement #EconomicGrowth #SustainableDevelopment #TexasPride

March shines a light on Social Work Month! Today, we're spotlighting Lisa Richards Ryan, LSW! Unit, title, years of experience? Office of Intake and Emergency Services District Manager 27 years What do you do at the Department? I am the District Manager of the Office of Intake and Emergency Services on St. Croix. As a Social Worker/District Manager, it is important to have many characteristic traits, such as honesty, empathy, effective communication skills, being non-biased, as well as being a good listener. Who does your unit help? Intake is a unit that functions under the guidelines of Title 5 of the Virgin Islands Code, mandating that this unit protects the children of our community from abuse as well as neglect. Why is it important? Social Workers are public servants who are dedicated to ensuring that the children of our community are safe in their environments. Why would other social workers want to come work at DHS? Working with the Department of Human Services has allowed me to be exposed to so many families that need assistance. This work has also allowed me to grow and develop the skills and experience necessary to become a better person, not only for myself but also for others.

32 years of criminal and juvenile justice executive leadership at the city, county, state and within a large non-profit agency level leading system wide juvenile justice reform and improving conditions of confinement.
Doing it right
In August of 2023, The Bridge Youth & Family Resource Center officially opened their doors and welcomed the Ada County, Idaho community. Their role as resource center has played a large part in keeping kids out of the formal justice system resulting in a spike in referrals (as well as calls and drop-in visits from families looking for help). Here at the NAC, we support their journey as they work hard to make a difference in their community! Visit their website for more information today. https://lnkd.in/e9AayseV

Join me in uncovering the complexities of our city and why community engagement is more crucial than ever.” Uncover the full story and dive deep into the heart of the matter with our exclusive blog post on https://lnkd.in/gWncMSWH.

At PEOPLEIT, we're IT Experts in Business Systems Integrations, Business Intelligence + Data Analytics, and Cloud Infrastructure. #Microsoft # #WestMichigan #BusinessIntelligence #DataAnalytics #SoftwareIntegration
A great leader and great organization.
CarePortal is #hiring for a part-time Church Ambassador in Detroit! Ambassadors serve as the leading relational ministry experts to churches and community champions that are assigned to their network. These network leaders are trusted, experientially-qualified local leaders who recruit, train, empower, and walk alongside church and community leaders as they use the CarePortal platform with a vision for how to engage the “Whole Church” across lines of denomination, race, class, and culture. A person would love this role if God has given them a vision for seeing the Church answering the call for caring for the vulnerable and have a natural ability to network clergy and community leaders together. If that sounds like you, or someone in your network, let's chat! Together we can reverse the foster care crisis in Michigan one child, one family, one connection at a time. https://lnkd.in/dh8rQ8y2
