 Phil Oliver Central Texas Representative |
Phil has been actively involved with marginalized and incarcerated youth for over 4 years working through several Waco-based ministries---All Things Possible and RightTrack Ministries. He also has developed an ever-widening personal ministry focus through one--on-one mentoring and counseling. Phil and his wife, Jan have been married for twenty-five years and currently live in Waco, TX. He is a father of two---one in college and one a senior in high school. He is an elementary classroom teacher with Waco ISD and has been with them for twenty-five years. He uses computer technology to teach kids life-long learning lessons. He is an active presenter and advocate within the educational system for the growing population of the high-risk and marginalized youth. He is an active volunteer at the Texas Youth Commission facilities at Mart and Marlin, Waco Parole, and the county juvenile services at Judge Logue Juvenile Justice Center. He is also active with the CASA organization as well as the McLennan County Youth Collaboration F.O.C.U.S mentoring program. He serves as a mentor and student advocate in each of these areas. He is involved with the WISD Alternative Campus as well as the McLennan County Challenge Academy. Having mentored numerous young people, Phil has developed an effective personal mentoring ministry that he likes to call "LifeCoaching". This enables him to touch lives in the school setting, on the street, and in the homes of the youth he works with. He is the author of the "DaddyDisc" program where teen fathers are given an opportunity to record books on CD for their children and then have the book and CD sent to their home. He and his wife are also teaching a course, "Operation Rebound" at Mart to better prepare the advanced-phase youth for re-entry into their home community. He is committed to strengthening the network of care and support for high-risk, marginalized youth, especially in the Central Texas Area. Please feel free to contact him with any questions about the Central Texas Area opportunities and resources for juvenile youth. |
