our history
In 1998, Changing Course Foundation (CCF) began Summer Camp Programs for Juvenile Probation offices in North Central Texas. In 2002, Changing Course Foundation incorporated and applied for their 501(c)(3) exemption with the Internal Revenue Service and was awarded full 501(c)(3) non-profit status in 2007.
For twenty-six years CCF has been providing programs and services for those who struggle with behavioral issues and self limiting beliefs. We continue to provide our clients with opportunities to challenge the beliefs that hold them back from experiencing their true purpose in life and providing them with tools to change their destructive behaviors.
Our clients include Veterans, individuals, corporations, universities, public and private schools, JROTC groups, churches, camps, State Agencies such as Tarrant County MHMR, State of Texas Department of Rehabilitative Services, and Texas Workforce.
Expanding into the Murray County Oklahoma Area has provided CCF with more opportunities to serve Veterans and Individuals.
