Community180 Outreach

Southeast Texas… we are better together. And we need your voice.

Beaumont. Port Arthur. Orange.
What we’re seeing in our youth is real violence, truancy, low academic performance… and too many of our kids slipping through the cracks.

The Choose Up Summit is where we come together as a community to face it—head on.

This isn’t just an event.
This is a movement of voices, solutions, and action.

We need parents.
We need educators.
We need leaders.
We need YOU.

Because real change doesn’t happen in silence, it happens when a community stands up and says, “Not on our watch.”

💬 Real conversations
🤝 Real connections
📦 Real resources for families

Each summit also includes a Care Zone, providing essential items to support families, because when the home is strengthened, the child has a chance.

📍 Port Arthur – May 30
📍 Orange – June 6
📍 Beaumont – June 13

Your voice matters. Your presence matters. Your impact matters.

Let’s come together and Choose Up—for our youth, for our future, for our community.

Fentanyl isn’t a “big city problem.” Southeast Texas has felt it, and the trafficking cases show how serious it is. 

Choose Up Summit includes conversations and connections to resources.

Port Arthur, it’s time for real conversations and real solutions.

Community180 is hosting a Community Impact Workshop focused on strengthening our youth and supporting the families that shape them. This workshop will introduce and inform the public about our PATHH initiative and how we are working together to create measurable impact in our city.

If you are a parent, educator, mentor, faith leader, or simply someone who cares about the future of Port Arthur, this space is for you.

Come learn.
Come ask questions.
Come see how you can be part of the solution.

Thursday, February 19th
6:30 PM CST
3800 Jimmy Johnson Blvd
Port Arthur, TX 77642

When we invest in families, we secure the future for our youth.

We look forward to building with you.

We are honored to partner with Free State Cellars Winery and the Smugglers Union.

5 years of caring for Jefferson & Orange County.. 🙏🏾☃️🎄

Full glasses. Full hearts. A full sleigh of toys! 🎄✨ Our Smugglers Union Christmas Party was a cheerful celebration with friends gathered over good food and local wine. Every donated toy was proudly delivered to Community 180 Outreach to support those who need it most. We’re incredibly grateful to our Smugglers and everyone who donated—thank you for allowing us to be part of something that gives back close to home. This is the spirit of the Smugglers Union—legendary in every way. Curious about being part of a club that values community just as much as great wine?
