On deck partners with houston dream center
March 1st, 2023
We are excited to announce that we are partnering with the Houston Dream Center. With the community center almost complete, the athletic field is next to develop. Keeping the community in mind, plans are for an open field with a track running around the outside. Along the track path, we will be implementing Phase Training testing stations open to the community. The field will be used for Phase Training while introducing sports to the youth that maybe wouldn't have had the opportunities outside of the center.
Located in Splendora, TX, the Houston Dream Center provides necessary & much needed programing, supplies, fellowship, opportunities and more for the individuals & families in real need.
Together, We Give Hope, Healing & Freedom
Helping women, children and at-risk youth break the chains of oppression and poverty so they can experience the hope and freedom of Christ and begin to dream again.

In 2000, after seeing his first foster care facility, Founder Brett Pierce left professional baseball and got to work. Within the LA County Foster System, he has held multiple positions including childcare worker, instructional aid, mental health specialist and mental health coordinator. Since then, he has brought together Celebrities, Community Figures, Corporations and like minded organizations in an effort to give hope where there was not. Our team of professionals and volunteers understand how important their role is. For some youth, the best part of their days are during On Deck Foundation's programming. We are always looking for help. If you are interested in volunteering, becoming an instructor, joining our Advisory Board and more, please click below.

Here in 2023, the needs now extend outside system walls and into our homes and communities. Our vision, is too level the playing field.
Today, experiences, private instructors, camps, clinics, leagues, tournaments, equipment, etc., have eliminated a huge percentage of our youth able to participate due to fees and costs. This is unacceptable. ODF hopes to identify and provide for this population within our communities.
