Our Outreach & Programs

“There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.” 
― John Holmes

On The Block we love to serve others!  We believe that service is a great display of selfless love. We have multiple ways that we serve our communities such as our partnership with Covenant House Houston, our Outreach in Clayton Homes and many more! 

1000+ New writers Campaign

On The Block we believe that “The Pen Is Stronger Than The Gun”, and that is why we launched our 1,000 Writer’s Campaign.  Our goal with this campaign is to give 1000+  youth and youth adults an alternative outlet for expressing themselves versus resulting to fighting and gun violence. We want to put notebooks and pens into the hands of 1000+ youth and young
adults across the city and encourage them to write down their goals, dreams and use their gifts for positivity.
