Hope Begins with a Child who Believe They Can
Why This Matters
Every child deserves the chance to dream – and a path to get there.
In the communities we serve, many children face barriers far beyond the classroom. They’re more likely to fall behind in school, miss out on safe spaces after class and never get the guidance they need to imagine a better future.
We’re not just helping with homework. We’re helping kids believe in themselves.
Changing Futures, One Kid at a Time
For too many kids growing up in poverty, the future feels out of reach. But when someone shows up – with encouragement, support and the chance to try – everything starts to change.
What We Do
Support that Grows with Them
School Supply Drives
A new backpack, fresh supplies and a sense of belonging. Our back-to-school campaigns help kids feel ready and excited to learn.
After-School Programs
Trusted, free, and right where they live – our daily after-school programs offer tutoring, STEM activities, fitness and a safe space to be a kid.
Eric Dickerson Learning Center
In Fort Worth, TX, this center gives children access to technology, real-world learning and space to dream big.
Building Bright Futures Scholarship Fund
In 2024, we awarded 35 scholarships to young people stepping into college, trade school, and career training – many as first-generation students.
