Letot Center

This co-educational, short-term program established in 1979 through a joint public-private effort by the Dallas County Juvenile Department, Dallas Independent School District and Junior League of Dallas, today serves as the central service delivery system for runaway youth and their families in Dallas County. Operations moved to the current facility in 1990 after the Letot Capital Foundation built the 40,000 square foot building using private sector donations. The building has a shelter capacity for 40 youth referred by law enforcement for runaway, truancy and class C misdemeanors. Programming aims to reunite runaways with their families whenever possible.
