As a reminder, the book is about the questions that are asked unaccompanied minors when they enter the county. It is very short (just over 100 pages) so still time for those interested to read and also not required reading – join us if you can!

On behalf of the Houston Young Lawyers Association (HYLA) Pro Bono & Service Committee and the Houston Bar Association (HBA) Texas Youth Literacy Committee, I’d like to invite you to join us for a volunteer service morning supporting youth literacy.

We are partnering with Books for Development—a local nonprofit founded by attorneys that ships books to underserved communities—for a hands-on book-sorting and packing event.

Event Details:

Date: Saturday, August 29, 2026
Time: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM (Stay as long or as little as you’d like)
Location: Books for Development Warehouse (3709 Polk St., Houston, TX 77003)
What We’ll Do: Sort donated books by category and pack boxes for distribution. No specific skills required!
Who Can Join: Open to all legal professionals, staff, friends, and family (ages 12+).
Registration: Sign up at hyla.org/events

This is a fantastic, low-barrier group service activity for associates, clerks, and staff to connect with peers while making a direct impact on literacy.

Because space at the warehouse is limited, we encourage volunteers to pre-register at hyla.org/events.

Please feel free to share the attached flyer with your network. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Hope to see you there!
