What is Good Gang USA?
Believing in God’s Word and Spirit
Good Gang USA is a nonprofit organization founded by Bishop James Dixon in 1994. Members are middle school and high school students in Houston, Texas. Many students are at risk of joining gains due to poverty, loss of a parent to incarceration, and some cases of homelessness. However, Good Gang students succeed in school and life through programs of the organization such as A Safer Place for Kids Traffic Stop, Scholar Power, and Me.
With the support of the programs and personal mentorship by Bishop James Dixon, students gain the opportunity to learn and grow academically, spiritually, and emotionally. Good Gang the USA teaches students leadership, responsibility, proper social behavior, and a strong work ethic. Bishop James Dixon’s vision of success among all children thrives with the work of Good Gang, USA. Join us in support of our “at-risk” youth.
