Good first step: Act Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis Community Portal
Visit the Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis Community Portal online to register your child for after-school or summer programs at Finnigan Park or Lincoln Park.
Request for approval to renew an interlocal agreement with Waller Independent School District for two Youth Service Specialists for the period of August 1, 2026 - July 31, 2027, and for Waller ISD to reimburse the County an annual standard fee of $45,469.00 per Youth Service Specialist which represents one-half of the total personnel and mileage cost for each position.
HCP1's Out-of-School Youth Programs give kids a safe, caring place after school and over the summer. Children get academic support, fun enrichment, health and wellness activities, and healthy meals at two Houston centers.
The program offers academic help, skill-building and enrichment, recreation and fitness, and nutritious food. It is built to help kids grow social skills, confidence, and healthy habits, both after school and during the summer.
Register online through the Office of Harris County Commissioner Precinct 1 Community Portal to sign up your child and get updates on new sessions.
