🗣Calling all volunteers! We need your help!

Across our service area, many children and families do not have access to food during breaks from school. We're stepping in to help.

On December 9, we will be packing hundreds of bags of food to go to families in need over the holiday break. We are asking for volunteers to help us pack up the bags.

All are welcome! We can't wait to see you!

🎉 Our first L.I.F.T. session was a success!

As part of a partnership with Camp Fire First Texas, Girls Inc. of Tarrant County, and Vantage Point, we are building leadership skills and civic engagement in our youth!

The first session, hosted by Camp Fire First Texas at Camp El Tesoro, was a day of leadership building in nature. Students participated in a rope walk, balance platform, hike, crafts and reflection journaling.

We are excited to see the students progress through the rest of the program!

President and CEO Lindsey Garner had the opportunity to be part of the Fort Worth Report Growth Summit's panel on building the workforce Tarrant County needs.

During the panel, she shared how our team helps all students overcome barriers to access that workforce pipeline.

“If the pipeline isn’t working for everyone, it’s not working."

Read her powerful testimony, and support our work to help all kids succeed:

Students want more career exposure. A Fort Worth Report Growth Summit panel says schools, colleges and employers must work together.

✨Shining a light on our programs!

Brewer High School Program Manager Brooke Grassi engages with the students on her campus in many ways. Whether it's stopping in for a quick snack or staying for a longer conversation about issues making it hard for them to come to school, students know they can count on Mrs. Grassi.
