The Director is responsible for all aspects of the daily operation of the TLCC, including staff hiring, development, and management, family, church and community relations, budget development and oversight, licensing and safety standards, and other duties that may be identified on an ongoing basis.

Featured Resources for May 

Upbring is a Texas-wide organization implementing generational innovation to advance child wellbeing. They are a faith-based organization with deep Lutheran roots and have served children and families in Texas for over 140 years.

For more than a century – from the service-minded Lutherans who dreamed of building an orphanage in the 1860s to the vital programs in place today throughout Texas – Upbring has proudly grown and adapted to the changing needs of society. Their story is marked by the continual practice of generational innovation, each moment in history building upon the next to impact the next generation of children, families and communities.
