Literacy Support for Children
- Parents as Teachers (PAT): A nationally recognized program that helps parents become their child’s first teacher. Educators meet with families twice a month to share age-appropriate activities, set goals, and provide overall family support. Group meetings also offer connection, learning, and a meal.
- Child Literacy Programs: Early literacy skills are key to school and life success. With many Texas children struggling, our programs focus on reading, writing, and technology to break cycles of poverty.
- Books and Beyond: A weekly after-school program with storytelling, STEAM activities, and snacks. Offered at three locations to help kids who lack transportation.
