Description

We have a learning intiutive for our residents to join our after school ans summer learning programs to recieve home work help, reading and other fundemental skills for our residents. 

Our mission statement is to stimulate a positive catalyst in the minds, hearts, and souls of individuals, enabling them to experience a higher quality of life. Enhancing educational opportunities and provide an array of services , social and activity programs to the community.

 

Our purpose is to provide residents and their families living at one of six local mixed income affordable apartment developments in the Dallas/ Fort Worth area with variety of programs, services and activities that will enhance their quality of life. Adult residents are able to take advantage of financial planning courses, credit counseling, parenting assistance, nutritional and cooking classes,  tax preparation, spiritual wellness, and job placement assistance. Our school aged residents could attend Life Enrichment and Academic Program (LEAP) which hosts a variety of programs and activities held in a safe and secure environment for children during the critical after school hours of 3pm to 6pm Monday through Friday. General school support focuses on homework assistance, mentoring, counseling, social behavioral management, educational games, recreation and bridging communication gaps between home and school. There are opportunities for children to interface with professionals, from organizations which could include entrepreneurs, corporate executives, law enforcement, and educators. We’re most proud of our DEAR Drop Everything And Read program initiatives which is designed to motivate and encourage children to read as well as develop appreciation for reading.
