Community Commitment Scholarship Contest

At Massingill, one of Texas’s pre-eminent law firms, we firmly believe that our commitment to our community distinguishes us from other firms.

As counselors, we strive to help our clients make good decisions for themselves and their businesses. Our clients make good, honest, just, wise, and peaceful decisions that positively impact our community with the help of our counsel.

We hope to inspire young people to examine how they could positively help their communities. Unfortunately, the numbers of young people engaged in volunteerism and community service have dropped significantly over the past few years.

From about 1985 to 2015, high-school-aged children enrolled in volunteer programs at a rate that rose annually. The trend reversed in 2016, and the numbers declined.
